A little while ago I sarcastically asked on Twitter how the Wall Street Journal could take good news about Apple and turn it into bad news. Well, they did it. I can’t even link to them, but Gruber noticed it too.
WSJ douchebaggery

That was jaw-dropping douchey. That’s like Fox news-level douchey.
They probably know how few of their readers bother getting past the first graf or two.
Now you’re being unfair to Fox news… 😛 (jk)
But don’t news aggregators only show the first 100 words or so?
Saw this one in the morning, couldn’t believe my eyes. I honestly an article this incredibly douchey could only be a fever-induced hallucination.
Holy crap. As if we needed more proof that the WSJ was out to get Apple.
Of course WSJ and Fox are both owned by Murdoch. A douche is a douche is a douche is a douche (to paraphrase Gertrude Stein).
Same effect. Deliberately misleading lead creates an impression that’s the opposite of the facts.
If only it was JUST the WSJ…

That’s why they mention Apple.
You’re right of course, but it calls into question anything they write.
I hope Apple stops giving them exclusives or review units.
