I had no cancellation fee.

They meant that if you don't cancel ahead of time you will be billed the normal, full subscription price of $40/month, instead of the this alluring, shiny $2/month. Likely the whole reason these extremely low rates are offered is that they'll end up with x number of people who don't cancel and don't notice they're being billed 40 bucks a month.

Used a privacy.com credit card to sign up so it will be impossible for them to charge full price if I forget to cancel after a year. I was surprised when I briefly skimmed through it.
I thought this was a highly political publication but they have a lot of interesting, non political articles, which is what I will mostly be reading. Tired of all the sensationalized, partisan trash articles that both parties are putting out.

FYI to anybody considering this, the WSJ is not the bastion of unbiased reporting it once was. The opinion side of the house is still pretty good, but the "news" side of the house has introduced a very noticeable leftward slant in the past few years. Depending on the topic they can still be fairly decent, but if it's something that the new "news" staff feels strongly about, they're just as bad as the rest of the media (which is why I keep putting news in quotes -- some articles have a good bit of left-leaning opinion subtly interspersed in them). My understanding is that they had significant staff turnover a few years back, leading to the degradation in quality. Part of the problem is that the news department follows the AP stylebook, which in recent years has itself become a way to propagate left-leaning dogma. Actually, come to think of it, the WSJ's opinion department just published a column about that issue: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/trump...s-78c25b2a

People thinking the Wall Street Journal is Left-leaning is more of an indication of just how far right those people are, rather than any indication of where the Wall Street Journal is politically.

As a long-time WSJ subscriber, I will be the first to agree that even as recently as 4 years ago it was right-leaning, however, there has been significant turnover in the staff since then.

This was made abundantly clear in the run-up to the election, with the news department practically stumping for Biden -- downplaying the significance of inflation, fearmongering about white nationalists, fact-checking only one side of the presidential debates, ignoring Biden's cognitive decline, etc. It was a marked change from the WSJ of just a few years ago, which would have covered both sides fairly (the ideal), or maybe even given the right a bit of preferential treatment (not ideal, but at least different from most other mainstream papers). Now that the election is over they've cooled it off a bit, but you can definitely tell what side of the aisle the news staff are standing one.

Real SDers access for free through libraries. You know, those things your tax money pays for? Why would anyone pay for this? I'm 42 and haven't paid for any major newspaper, ever.

best response in this thread. Deal still works for those who want to give them money. Also, if your closest library doesn't have access you can try getting a card to one that does as many do
