is probably the most influential elite
conservative outlet in the country. Fox
News, talk radio and the rest may hold more
sway with the grassroots, but the Journal has
always been the gold standard for educated
opinion shapers. Millions of busy people who
may not follow politics closely rely on the Jour-
