FYI: Most public libraries provide full access to WSJ.com with a free library account
I've had this for a year or so and genuinely can say how much I appreciate journalism again. I always thought this was just a very thick newspaper full of stock quotes but they cover just about anything that could be considered news, art, pop culture and even IT/cybersecurity. I subscribe to a lot of the news feeds and can honestly say I feel I'm a heck of a lot more informed about what's going on in the world while being heads-down doing the daily work grind.
The key is understanding the difference between the news section and the opinion/editorial section. Many papers blur the line (via story selection, choice of words for headlines, etc). The news section of WSJ is the most politically neutral I have found in a US news source. Any article you read online you should make sure you understand: am I reading an opinion piece, where someone can be loose with the facts and not even try to dig at all angles, or am I reading a news piece by someone with journalist integrity that is trying to present you all of the facts available to make your own opinions. I think most "news" that people read are opinion pieces.
That said, if you stray in to the Opinion section of the WSJ, which is easy to do, but they are clearly labeled as such, you will definitely see a strong bias toward conservative or Republican views.

Agreed! The WSJ is at its historical core a business-oriented publication and accordingly tends to lean towards conservative values. BUT the articles are very balanced and not as blatantly agenda driven as in other journalism sources (NYT, WaPo, LATimes).

The Editorial Staff pieces tend to be conservative, but also they have been loud critics of Trump.
The WSJ has traditionally been a fairly expensive subscription, BECAUSE they don't write the click-bait articles found in free news feeds. I truly hope this change in their subscription model isn't going to lead to a degradation in quality.

I think this is a great deal although I already read most of the WSJ through Apple News+. If you want to consume only the news your political party wants you to consume you're better served elsewhere.

After calling and checking with the customer support line, I was told that this offer is for new subscribers only. So, cancelling and then resubscribing will not work for the same account.
Not surprised. But you can always create a new account with new email

By the end of this black friday people would have signed up for more subs than they bargained for.

So far in the past week SD has given us Hulu, D+, Peacock, Max, AppleTV+ discounted subs.
Now we are getting subs for newspapers like WSJ, Barrons and Marketwatch.

People better set reminders to cancel when signing up or they are going to be in for a shock when they start getting full price. This offer alone reverts to 50$ per month at the end.
Set that reminder when you signup please.
Now if we could also get Netflix and Bloomberg offers!

This is a good price but the app is the worst. You will be scrolling through the headlines and you drill into one article and it pops you back to the top and you got to scroll back down to where you were. It's impossible to use.
Yeah, I don't even bother with the app anymore. I just go directly from Chrome mobile or send the articles I want to read from my laptop to my phone. The only good thing that the app has and the mobile site doesn't have is dark mode.

Anyone know if WSJ carries pollical baggage? (owned by newscorp/murdoch family apparently). If this deal is to increase the influence on people's... perceptions, I'm gonna pass.

On the flip side, if it's neutral, it might be a better source of news vs other iffy news sources.
They're centrist in their news section but lean right in their opinion section.

If you're on an Apple device and open any WSJ article from the website in Apple News, you'll be able to read it if you have Apple News+.
How exactly do you do this?

EDIT: I see now. Press and hold article title and you get the option to "Open in WSJ". Which I would've never realized means Apple News+

Jumped at it with another account. Easy to cancel the other one.

Now if only I can get WaPo and NYT deep discounted as well!

for anyone who dont know, your local library generally have the 72 hour subscription for free. you just need one extra click to get you everything you need.

but if you have amx digital credit, probably the second bundle are the best

This is a slick deal. I'm in the 6 dollar barons market watch bundle rn.

I wish there was a Black Friday deal for the print edition though.

I believe you can do either; cancel online (while logged in to your account) or call the 1-800 customer service #.
I had to change my address from OR to CA for the online cancellation option to show up. That was a year ago. I believe CA has the law for online subscriptions.

Not a bad deal, WSJ has a tough paywall to get around, not sure if there are any good methods currently
It stopped in the past few months, ranging from publicly available extensions in the Chrome Store, to even Developer Mode installations -- all fail. Props to the coders, they won (so far).
