Noted in Murdoch land

The Wall Street Journal used to have a stand-alone website, www.opinionjournal.com, which made available selected editorials and op-eds for free (perhaps reflecting the willingness to pay). The site is now gone and redirects to a new opinion page that will apparently make all the editorials and op-eds freely available. One wonders if this is the first step of the roll-out of a subscription free WSJ. Sadly, it probably also means that a lot of old links to the opinionjournal pages are busted. Tracking down exactly who said what during the years of Bush lunacy just got more difficult. To the webmaster's credit, it seems that the old links still work.
