Wall Street Journal reports about its own scandal:
"The Wall Street Journal Europe has a circulation of about 73,250."
Which isn't a lie but lying by omission. The Journal thinks there's nothing more to report on European circulation.
Guardian:
"But the Audit Bureau of Circulation ruled that the scheme was legitimate and by 2010, it was responsible for 41% of the European edition's daily sales – 31,000 copies out of a total of 75,000."
31.000 copies bought by so-called "sponsors" for 5 cent and distributed to students.

More chipping away the reputation of formerly venerable institution.
