Pardon me?
The Wall St. Journal is taking major heat for a headline/argument over President Trump’s use of pardons. Yes, we’re back to that subject.
In an ill-advised X post, WSJ declared that Trump had turned the pardon process into the “Wild West.”
“President Trump has turned the pardon process into the Wild West. What had been a sober legal proceeding done by career officials in the Justice Department increasingly resides in the White House,” WSJ stated.

There’s at least one big problem with that claim, though:

The post angered many as they wondered what had become of the Wall Street Journal:
So are we all just going to pretend that Biden didn’t pardon his drug addict son who was on camera doing literal crack?

You’ve got be kidding me with this article. When your favorite dementia President Biden pardoned his entire family from the most blatantly obvious corruption ever seen you put this out?! This newspaper is even more biased.

Oh no. Did he blanket pardon half his admin? His son? His brother? His brother’s wife?

What the fuck is happening to the Wall Street Journal? Biden preemptively pardoned people, and you’re saying Trump turned it into the wild West? Who’s writing this shit a fucking highschooler?

This is why mainstream media is kaput. They are now saying Trump, NOT BIDEN, has ruined the pardon process. Millions of Americans voted for J6ers to be freed. NOBODY called for Fauci, Hunter Biden and others to be pardoned.
