Washington, D.C. — According to Economic Liberties’ “Wall Street Grumble” Tracker, the Wall Street Journal has officially published a total of 100 op-eds, letters to the editor, and editorials criticizing Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan’s enforcement record since she took office. In response, the American Economic Liberties Project released the following statement.

“The Wall Street Journal’s 100th meltdown about Chair Lina Khan is a true badge of honor,” said Jimmy Wyderko, Spokesperson for the American Economic Liberties Project. “Their editorial board is so obsessed with attacking her that they’ve stooped to defending price-fixing oil executives and supporting restrictive noncompete agreements, showing just how out of touch they are with what Americans want. This non-stop bellyaching from big businesses’ biggest mouthpiece only validates the FTC’s work to stand up for working families. While the FTC keeps winning, the Journal will keep whining.”

According to an Economic Liberties analysis, the Journal has published a total of 100 editorials, opinion pieces, and letters to the editor since the beginning of Khan’s tenure, all of them intending to undermine the FTC’s enforcement actions. This averages out to a screed against Chair Khan once every 11 days. 28 of those 100 pieces published to date include Chair Khan’s full name in the headline.

The American Economic Liberties Project works to ensure America’s system of commerce is structured to advance, rather than undermine, economic liberty, fair commerce, and a secure, inclusive democracy. Economic Liberties believes true economic liberty means entrepreneurs and businesses large and small succeed on the merits of their ideas and hard work; commerce empowers consumers, workers, farmers, and engineers instead of subjecting them to discrimination and abuse from financiers and monopolists; foreign trade arrangements support domestic security and democracy; and wealth is broadly distributed to support equitable political power.
