I guess it just depends on what you want out of the WSJ.
A business magazine/newspaper that greatly improved with a change of ownership is Businessweek. Many years ago it was a leading voice in business. McGraw-Hill ultimately drove it into the ground. Bloomberg, which bought it for $5 million, has returned BW to its former glory (I think). News and editorial/opinion are clearly separated in BW.
