I just got it today because it wasn’t clear how it would work originally, but now I have it. One 15 weeks subscription to the Wall Street Journal online. There’s a special student discount so it’s only about $35 for it, I (along with my Grandfather) went through and ordered it today. However, we discovered something else very interesting, I’m also getting the print version included in this price! I’m quite excited, next week (Tuesday) the print WSJ will begin arriving at my dorm and I have the online version to go through. I’ve spent much of the evening pursuing through, getting excited so now I’m sharing with all of you. I highly recommend it as a news source. Same reason I almost only watch CNBC is that when it comes to an economic news source there’s almost no editorializing (comparatively anyways) and I can stand that bull.
*Calms down* Anyways I’m having a great time with my new gift.

Hobbes, it's worth noting that you should not rely exclusively on the WSJ for your news. It's as biased in its own way as most papers.

Nope, at least not as an undergrad, you'll have to ask Celia if she can do it (grad-student there). I can do that for monthly journals and what not but Purdue doesn't get anything like WSJ.

yeah, you're a dork. my sister wasn't this excited about her cosmo subscription and that's freaking cosmo!
um, i have access to it through the library, but getting to it is annoying. are you sure you don't? are you sure this isn't like that time you told me the libraries didn't have internet access here? Posts: 3956 | Registered: Jun 2001

Oh, that's great, Hobbes! I love the WSJ! My mom has been getting it for years, and she's a super smart investor. But calling it unbiased is a laugh. It's rightist as can be! Sheesh! Unbiased! Posts: 968 | Registered: Sep 2003

<grin> It seems to me it's biased, but not in a typical way. It's biased in that in only reports things as they relate to the economy, so you'll get one side of the story certainly. Thing is that you know that's what it'll be and it's not actually changing facts (or picking one-sided statistics or whatever), it's just not reporting anything that it doesn't think has to do with money. That's a much easier bias to deal with than liberal or conservitive. I really don't think it's either, not in a serious way.
