WSJ very well may be propaganda platform but I think of it as a dog-whistle channel from true owners of our society (.01%) to the wannabes (1%). And its good to see whats being signaled there.

How would the WSJ journalists (who are probably in the 20%) know what to write? Is the dog whistle message conveyed from the owners to the editors to the journalists?

Most likely that, the message would be encoded in the paper's policy and the knowledge of what type of stories would be acceptable for publication. as somebody once said, most journalistic censorship is self-censorship.

the fact that journalist himself is in 20% is irrelevant as its his bosses who finally decide what gets to your/mine eyeballs.
