I used to be a subscriber to the WSJ when I could rely on it for nonbiased business news. I stopped after the first 6 months of Murdoch ownership. I think the quality went downhill and the objective reporting joined that downhill slide.
OTOH, I have friends who still subscribe and think it is still a great newspaper.
I guess it just depends on what you wnat 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.
