Judith Miller Joins Fox News

Judith Miller was a NYTimes reporter for 28 years and had won the Pulitzer for a book on terrorism in 2002. That is, of course, until she became a tool of the Bush administration and published numerous articles before March 2003 reporting the dubious evidence of WMD as Iraq as if it was real. The Times, and Miller, later apologized for these articles. She garnered a lot of sympathy when she was put in jail in 2005 for refusing to reveal her source on the Valerie Plame outing, until it was revealed that she was more of a political hack supporting the Bush agenda than an independent news reporter.

Now, Miller joins the Fox News team in its never-ending quest for fair and balanced reporting, free of the bias and slime of the liberal media elite, who put politics first and the country second. Way to go, Fox News!

Just for fun, here's some quotes I cut and pasted from Slate, while I was reading Doonesbury this morning:

• "WMD -- I got it totally wrong."--New York Times reporter Judith Miller, October 16, 2005.
• "I'm deeply sorry that the stories were wrong."-- Judith Miller, Nov. 30, 2005
• "We've all had stories that didn't come out exactly as we had hoped... She has explained herself and she has nothing to apologize for."-- Fox News Senior Vice President John Moody, explaining Fox's recent hiring of Miller, Oct. 19, 2008
