It’s impossible to avoid any bias, but WSJ seems much less biased than, say, the NYT. Even the opinion pages have columns from multiple sides of the political minefield. And they’ve been steadfast in critiquing anyone in the oval office.
I was a corporate scientist. While there weren’t a lot of examples of malfeasance I was personally aware of (some research labs penalized employees who overstated or fudged results to get continued funding or make their lab manager look good despite pressure from the latter to do so), there was at least one instance that hurt shareholders, not the public, quite a bit. Essentially that “lab manager” became a VP on the basis of inflated results, caused the company to invest 100s of millions of dollars into a new process and plant that didn’t actually work. (One of the reasons Motorola no longer exists).
I can’t recall any instances where corporate labs did something that hurt customers (other than creating products that failed, but that always hurt stockholders a lot more and is hardly unique to corporate labs). I certainly don’t recall any instances where corporate scientists willingly contributed to hiding safety issues of products.
But that doesn’t mean that research results didn’t get spun by marketing (or management) to say something different or at least more palatable. Don’t blame the researchers for that.
I think Nazis only applied that phrase to the Jews. They were very much in favor of eugenics, though (as the progressives were here at the time), so their solution for mental problems was for the most part sterilization.
In a “true democracy” there are no representatives.
The real problem is that those who have taken an oath of office (to support and defend the Constitution) don’t face treason charges (and eventual execution) for violating their oath.
