Has Investor's Business Daily always been total RW shills?

Even the Wall St Journal has some redeeming features (admittedly, I can't think of any just offhand) but this is just beneath contempt:
A Kerry Endorsement

Mon Nov 1, 7:00 PM ET

Election '04: Last week's release of the Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) tape provided some startling insight into the Kerry-Edwards campaign. What we saw is a disgrace.

Itching to make political hay, the Democracy Corps, which works side by side with Kerry-Edwards, took a poll to learn what the Democrats should say about bin Laden's comments.

Why this was even necessary is beyond us. We can only surmise that this is the sort of Clintonesque, finger-in-the-wind leadership that a Kerry presidency would provide. Which is to say, no leadership at all.

But what else can we say about bin Laden's man in this election? That's right: Kerry is bin Laden's choice. No, the mass murderer didn't come right out and endorse the Massachusetts senator. But there's little doubt how he leans.

I already have a thread in GD asking people to follow the link and vote the story down; feel encouraged to do that, too. But I'm curious; is IBD always this bad? I always assumed they were a boring (ie non-confrontational) business publication along the lines of Business Week.

Edit: Jeez, nice typing on my part!:)

1. they have.

I cancelled my subscription a couple of years ago because of that.

2. Yes.

Doesn't matter anymore though. After the Bush economy helped do its number on the stock market I cancelled my subscription because my stocks dropped so much I didn't trade anymore.

3. Oh Yeah....

It's always been a tad wacky...they need to stick to stocks and mutual funds.
