Judith Miller Criticizes WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange

Former New York Times reporter Judith Miller is back in the news. Last month, it was revealed she had started writing for the right-wing website NewsMax. And on Sunday, she appeared on Fox News and criticized WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

Judith Miller: "Julian Assange may be a bad journalist, but he is a journalist."

Question: "Why is he a bad journalist?"

Judith Miller: "Because he didn’t care at all about attempting to verify the information that he was putting out, or determine whether or not it would hurt anyone."

1. LOL! Judith Miller is one person who should STFU-- forever!

[rurallib]

2. Heard that this morning. This is Judith, the pentagon's stenographer.

In a society where she should be shunned the RW media still loves her.

[no limit]

3. Wow, talk about irony. I guess outing a covert CIA agent didn't hurt anyone?

4. Little Miss Run-Amok?

Of all the astonishing events in the Judith Miller/New York Times chapters of Plamegate, perhaps the most revelatory is the way Miller described herself and her activities within the paper's supposedly staid, controlled newsroom.

As noted in the paper's own long-awaited explanation of the affair, Miller called herself "Miss Run Amok."

"'I said, 'What does that mean?'" recalled former investigative editor Douglas Frantz, now managing editor at the Los Angeles Times. "And she said, 'I can do whatever I want.'"

And so she did, time and again, according to the Times' own coverage, "as the newspaper's leaders, in taking what they considered to be a principled stand, ultimately left the major decisions in the case up to Ms. Miller, an intrepid reporter whom editors found hard to control."

5. LOL, Okay then! What a tradeoff. Once a prominent reporter now reduced to typing dreck for

religious extremists who push the birther meme.

Yikes.


Oh, and I cannot help but laugh at her comment, "Because he didn’t care at all about attempting to verify the information that he was putting out, or determine whether or not it would hurt anyone."


Some have no shame...

6. Like Rachel Maddow says - they have no shame

7. Note...

She didn't suggest it should be checked for accuracy.

Only that it should be checked to assure it doesn't hurt anyone.

Apparently, to Judith Miller, Iraqi people aren't people and the truth is of little consequence.
