This is a legitimate news story, but my first thought was that the Wall Street Journal is owned by Rupert Murdoch, and NBC (and specifically MSNBC) is his biggest American broadcast nemesis.
A few conservative blogs have been noting that the "liberal press" is reporting the Rupert scandals with glee, and that's undoubtedly true. However, Rupert's press outlets take just as much glee in reporting the troubles faced by Rupert's enemies. This article is a case in point.
For the record, I'm OK with it if it's a legitimate news story. My objection comes when the story is made up, or exaggerated beyond recognition.
