According to two sources with direct knowledge of the situation, Lasswell was in effect phased out over a period of months from the paper. He took a book leave during the election following conflict with his boss Paul Gigot, the editorial page director, about the extent to which the page should run material sympathetic to Trump.

Ditto. Once I saw Trump's populism was real, I thought that the Wall Street & big corporate GOP (as in actual Wall Street, not the paper) just won't be able to tow the line for long. Fascinating. It's almost as if we might be at the birth of the GOP finally splitting into two new parties? Much depends on how protectionist Trump gets, I imagine. With all the Tea Party types still in Congress and there to assist, he could cause some major changes along those lines.

If only it would and we could assimilate the not-quite-deplorables.
But reality say it's more likely that the hard-nosed are simply pushing out the less obnoxiously extreme yet again, Tea Party 2.0 (or is it 3.0?) and the weaker will shuffle along with tails between legs and adapt to the new sucky sycophantic reality. If I see a *non-Trump* figure actually succeeding in whatever position, maybe I'll change my mind.

to add to your point, it's also the case that what most Wall Streeters and CEO's want most is to know which way the wind is blowing in advance.
Is where the editor of the WSJ is making a big mistake bending to pro-Trump spin, that's not what his clientele wants, they don't want spin, they want to know what's really happening, they don't bother with the op-ed section.
