Wall Street Journal Strives For Balance

The latest entry of Toronto Life's Conrad Black Trial blog notes that the Wall Street Journal is letting both sides weigh in on the trial. Alan Murray may have gone too far with his pro-comeuppance editoral, "Black Trial Revives Bad Old Days." (Available only to subscribers of WSJ Online; a discussion thread on it is here.) Now, a pro-vindication editoral has been published: "Waste Case," by Holman L. Jenkins, Jr. (Once again, available only to WSJ Online subscribers.) This entry in the Toronto Life trial blog has a summary of it, in the last paragraph of text.


Also: The National Journal has a half-paragraph of "sympathy" for Conrad Black, at the end of an article on newspaper design. Posted at The Atlantic Online.

I've just been informed that Amy St. Eve did not go with the prosecution team on their Toronto deposition-clarification trip. (Thanks to Theresa Tedesco for that information.) Since the prosecution will be too busy questioning Torontonians for the rest of this week, the trial itself doesn't start again until Monday.
