| Rupert Murdoch may see The New York Times as the primary competitive target for his revamped Wall Street Journal , but the Robert Pollock, the Journal 's editorial features editor, says the Times isn't even in the same class.
"I'd say the Washington Post would be, in my opinion, our biggest competition in terms of quality," Pollock tells Reason.tv . "Certainly The New York Times has a great deal of influence, although they really run a different model from us in so many ways. They're much more columnist-driven."
Pollock also says the Journal 's unsigned editorials put those of the Times to shame. "[W]hen you look at the unsigned editorials [in the Times ], to be frank, I find them sort of hectoring in tone. They don't really do any reporting. The Journal has always prided itself on doing what we call the reported editorial. We break news in the unsigned editorials. We go get our own facts. We don't just take what the reporters are giving us."
Here's the video; the Times - Journal comparisons start at 8:18.
