Resolved Question
Show me another »What is the better investing & stock trade newsletter now?
I'm considering subscribing to Wall Street Journal for its stock index listing and current investing information. Since I'm a libertarian with liberal streak, I don't like partisanship and politiking in the newspaper that's supposed to focus on finance and money market, I might not waste the money on the newspaper known for its rabid right-wing bias (editorial in particular) when it comes to history and current events, etc. Are there good alternatives (bias or not) to Wall Street Journal on reliable, informed articles without heavy political bullshit like Time, Newsweek & USA Today are known for? Should I just ignore the strident political bias in that paper and turn to stock index pages?

The stock markets are ruled by politics. If you can't deal with the politics in the Wall Street Journal, then you can't deal with the economy (which is the net result of politicking).
Most journalistic endeavours associated with the stock market are very right wing (WSJ, IBD, Barrons, CNBC, Jim Kramer, etc) because it is the right wing politics that keep the free-market capitalists going.
Having said that........if all you are looking for is information regarding stocks, you can get that information directly from the stock exchange's websites, or Yahoo, etc. Or as you said, you can just skip the articles and only read the tables section (and if that works for you, it pays for itself in the long run)

- Investors Business Daily! You can get it online as well.
I would also consider watching MadMoney and FastMoney on CNBC, I like Kudlow&Co as well on CNBC for the assessment of the world economies, but when candidates come on or they start with the politics I zip through it also.....Source(s):
