Judy Miller was asked if she has any regrets about her actions while at the Times. Her answer: "I wouldn't do anything differently." Really, Judy? Not the inaccurate reporting?

Obama's Trip Bounce: The Media's Obsession with Polls Leads to a Bad Case of Premature Pontification Media insiders now talk about polling brands the way average Joes talk about their favorite beer. "My producer is a Quinnipiac person, but I'm more into Gallup." I suppose if they married, they'd have to raise the kids CBS/New York Times. Read More
