WSJ is expensive so I read a lot of stuff online. As for timeless, I agree with Kroeran - they do in-depth reporting (although that has gotten shorter shrift lately) - great book reviews and some interesting travel sites. They just had a great article on Roth conversions. My favorite part a few years ago was the in-depth reporting on what the dot-com millionaires did with their millions - many of them partied and spent all of the IPO money. Very interesting insight into human behavior/character and how it doesn't change much.

As for the Economist, I've seen they've gone very left - to be honest, it's hard to find any publication that attests to neutrality and truly delivers it. One of the things I like about the WSJ is they profess a pro-business stance and stick to it. So, I know their bias going in and don't have to waste time trying to figure it out.
