Judith Miller has no right to critique anyone when it comes to influence.

Americans (click here) got to watch two debates last night -- the debate before and after CNN's Candy Crowley's ill-considered intervention as moderator-in-chief.... 

Ms. Miller is representative to the commitment of FOX News to provide cover and distraction for the GOP. There is a reason why Miller wasn't the moderator for the Town Hall. Judith Miller has found propaganda more important than journalism if you ask me. Of course no one does, so here it is. Perhaps she will remember how she thrust the New York Times into the middle of controversy on many an occasion. 

Oh, yes there was the entire Plame outing, but, the fact she waxed in favor of Bush's war in Iraq is the most stunning of her LEANINGS.

  • ...For the past year, (click here) the Times has done much to correct that coverage, publishing a series of stories calling Chalabi’s credibility into question. But never once in the course of its coverage—or in any public comments from its editors—did the Times acknowledge Chalabi’s central role in some of its biggest scoops, scoops that not only garnered attention but that the administration specifically cited to buttress its case for war.

    The longer the Times remained silent on Chalabi’s importance to Judith Miller’s reporting, the louder critics howled. In February, in the New York Review of Books, Michael Massing held up Miller as evidence of the press’s “submissiveness” in covering the war. For more than a year, Slate’s Jack Shafer has demanded the paper come clean....

    Miller belongs at FOX, all considering. She is probably grateful for a career at all at this point. Perhaps Ms. Miller needs to take example of a far more interesting Chris Wallace and his more vital role in pursuing the CANDIDATES rather than distracting them in gossip about peers.

    She is at least far prettier than her boss to deliver nonsense to the electorate. I suppose that is a selling point.

    On his best day, Murdoch looks like The Joker. Get serious, Judith, if you want to have a career at all rather than just a paycheck.
