Top Wall Street Journal Editor Defends Trump Coverage

In a staff meeting, Gerard Baker, the editor in chief, denied that the paper had been too soft in its coverage of the president, according to participants.

Rupert Murdoch owns the Wall Street Journal.

"“We can’t allow ourselves to be dragged into the political process, to be a protagonist in the political fight,” he said, according to one of the people. He said that Americans already distrusted the news media, and that if The Journal covered Mr. Trump in an overly confrontational way, that distrust might increase.
He joked that any stories suggesting The Journal had been soft in its coverage of Mr. Trump were akin to “fake news.”"

Donald Trump and Rupert Murdoch are allied.
