A scoop that raises questions: So, the instant question became: Had the [WSJ] paper orchestrated a declaration of support for a Bush administration policy its own editorial page has unstintingly supported, and then reported the event as news?
"It reminds one of the old adage: If you don't like the news, go out and make some yourself," said Orville Schell, dean of UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism. "It's a little funny that it's such a Bushy paper and this turned out to be such a nice little coup for the Bush administration. The Journal's editorial page, which is so demonstrably pro-Bush, must be highly gratified by their own instrumentality in this matter."
Conversations with Paul E. Steiger, the Journal's managing editor, and Paul A. Gigot, its editorial page editor, revealed that what occurred Thursday was one of those unforeseen collisions between journalistic enterprise and good fortune.
