So now that Rupert Murdoch has bought the venerable Wall Street Journal for a cool $5 billion will he keeps his hands off of it? In other words, will he stay out of the kitchen and let the reporters and editors cook up their own editorial stew? That's a key question as many reporters are no doubt watching how new ownership will impact their independence. As a former reporter, I know that journalists cast a wary eye at outsiders. At the same time, all you can really do is tell it like it is.
To paraphrase the immortal Al Davis, just report, baby.
