They are after her for supporting the WMD in Iraq.

likes it under the bus?

Snippet of Bill Keller's Email memo:

"I wish that when I learned Judy Miller had been subpoenaed as a
witness in the leak investigation, I had sat her down for a thorough
debriefing, and followed up with some reporting of my own. It is a
natural and proper instinct to defend reporters when the government
seeks to interfere in our work. And under other circumstances it might
have been fine to entrust the details _ the substance of the
confidential interviews, the notes _ to lawyers who would be handling
the case. But in this case I missed what should have been significant
alarm bells. Until Fitzgerald came after her, I didn't know that Judy
had been one of the reporters on the receiving end of the anti-Wilson
whisper campaign. I should have wondered why I was learning this from
the special counsel, a year after the fact. (In November of 2003 Phil
Taubman tried to ascertain whether any of our correspondents had been
offered similar leaks. As we reported last Sunday, Judy seems to have
misled Phil Taubman about the extent of her involvement.) This alone
should have been enough to make me probe deeper."

I fully expect Our Lady of Op/Ed Virginity Maureen Dowd to be driving
the bus and Frank Rich to be selling tickets for the ride.

Side note: Makes the "Old Gray Lady" and "Newspaper of Record" a
little suspect eh, what?

What WMD? She was behaving like a mouthpiece for this administration. A
competent and independent media is a very important check, as in checks
and balances, in a democracy. The NYT failed, among others, and 2,000
young Americans are dead. Hopefully, they will get back on track. They
could use Knight Ridder as an example.

90% of the "independent" media you speak of is biased to the left.

Only 90% ? A little simplistic, don't you think? No one speaks with an
objective voice, and the media in this country doesn't speak with one
voice. Is Rush biased left? What about NewsMax? Fox News?

Labeling media is a way of trivializing it. Propaganda spinners have used
the trick for years. It doesn't flush. Media has always spoken with many
voices. If you are truly looking for bias, you might consider left/right
isn't the only bias.

True true, but until you acknowledge the bias and see it as bias you are not
getting a real view of the world. Those of us on the right acknowledge the
bias of Fox News, but those on the left don't think that the other news
medias lean to the left. That's a serious problem!!

What is funny is how the liebrals continue to lump talk show hosts and news
reporters in the same group.......it is the only way to give any sort of
validity to their position.

A more serious problem is that many people who think "the media" is
left-biased never actually read or listen to those media, and are simply
repeating what they've been told to. For instance, rumor has it that NPR
rarely, if ever mentions anything positive about Iraq. That's odd, because I
hear them mention something positive at least a couple of times a week. Are
the droolers listening to a totally different NPR Morning Edition than I am?
Of course not. They simply don't listen.

Another example: I believe it was April of 2004 when a drooler in rec.guns
demanded that no self-respecting gun owner support public radio because they
never ran stories about hunting or fishing. Bull****. I searched their site.
There had been six or seven stories since the beginning of the year, all of
them completely positive. Again, the droolers don't listen.

Simplistic? No. Realistic? Yes.

Rush is not a journalist and he doesn't claim to be one either.

NewsMax is biased towards the right and Fox News is towards the right side
of the middle of the road. If Fox News was just another left leaning cable
network then nobody would ever watch them. Fox News leans to the right to be
different and to get noticed.

The media has trivialized itself in that they are, for the most part, trying
to be a part of the Democratic Party.
