Judith Miller Takes Job At Manhattan Institute

New York:

Judith Miller, the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times correspondent that pushed all the Bush administration spin about the (so-far non-existent) existence of WMD in Iraq, has finally come home. She's taken a job with the friends of "greater economic choice and individual responsibility" at the Manhattan Institute. She's written for their City Journal quarterly before, so look for more stories from her on the cop beat. "The Manhattan Institute is doing pioneering work in policing and counter-terrorism," Miller said in a release today. "As an adjunct fellow, I hope to continue writing about how best to enhance national security and public safety without sacrificing our freedom and civil liberties."

Judith Miller: the most famous journalist to afflict the afflicted and comfort the comfortable. The only journalist who went to jail to protect government insiders, not whistleblowers. The total opposite of what journalism is all about!! At least now everyone can recognize her propaganda for what it is.

The damage she did as a journalist and American is unfathomable because she placed her own ideology before the good of the nation that in my opinion was no different than those during the Cold War sold our national secrets to the USSR. The fact that after being a conduit of disinformation for her masters who are rewarding her is not news.

America wake up. Eisenhower spoke the truth, Kennedy was killed because he quipped during a re-election rally "What good was it to continue in a mistake (Vietnam)? Google it and see how long afterwards he was assasinated.

There has always been lucrative money made in war mongering and as America has witnessed billions stolen along with munitions that is murdering our own soldiers with the very weapons meant for them. There will always be folks who care more about their ideology and lucrative monied positions that will take them to their final resting place of infamy such that deceiving a nation will be able to justify themselves by knowing news readers should beware into not believing everything you read from one source without checking several other resources as you once were instructed in school. But sadly we have become fat and lazy seeking instant gratitude that makes disinformation such an easy thing to do nowadays when journalists sit like lap dogs or transcriptionists before the government press people whose job it is to inform or disinform on a need to know basis instead of investigating the story themselves. That era ended when Westmoreland sued CBS.

"Liberal media," my ass.

it was all a big deceptive smokescreen to divert the attention of the american public. she thought she would come out looking like a standup journalist but instead what really came out of it? now we see her reward. pretty pathetic huh. Judith Miller plain and simple a tool for the right wing.

[dax49]

well, she is getting her 30 pieces of silver. it would be interesting to know who is subsidizing this rag, since we all know it is not self supporting.

All jokes aside, what really goes on in a think tank? What is a think tank? Why are there so many of them? How does one get a job at a think tank? What are they paid to do? The people working at think tanks don't strike me as particularly inteligent just higher paid lobbiyists with a certain caché. As an earlier poster said, a job at said think tank is the big pay-off for the schills of the Bush administration.

Judith Miller and her editor are first degree traitors for not standing up to Cheney when he claimed their WMD column as independent verification. They could have publicly pushed back without giving up their sources.

But it is clear that they were thoroughly compromised from the beginning or Cheney would never have taken that chance.

How much blood, treasure and good will has been spilt because of their complicity?
