Judy Miller, thinking this buys her out of credibility purgatory:
“I was a Hillary supporter who has gone over to the Obama side,” Miller told Politico earlier by phone. “Lots of people think they know what I believe, but don’t.”
Nah, Judy honey, we know exactly what you believe. You believe in Judith Miller. You believe that above all else, your own importance is paramount. This is why 90 percent of blathering about news bias is worthless, because political bias isn’t the real problem. Self-involvement, smugness, obliviousness, laziness, those are the real problems. I don’t care if Judith Miller is a fire-breathing Obama backer in her off hours; if she sucks and lies and makes stuff up and listens to people who are trying to bullshit her without critically analyzing what they say, if she does thisdrive-by journalism where she demonizes an entire community and then never swings back around to see if she was correct, if she thinks what is most important is that she was “proved fucking right,” it doesn’t help me one bit as a person who depends upon the news for information who she aligns with politically.
