I disagree. The WSJ is facing much of the same problems, abet to a lesser degree then the rest of the industry and their bias at least in the opinion borders often on Neoconservatism. The Chicago Tribune, a conservative leaning paper is facing record years of declining ad revenue and readership.

The whole industry is failing due to changing consumer trends towards how they get the news. One of the bright spots for newspapers or at least news sources is how well they can leverage the internet. Ruetuers last I recall is not having a problem as it has been selling its news reports to information portals like Yahoo and MSN.

Slant has virtually nothing to do with it.

Interestingly enough, one of the bright spots in print are tabloids.
