There's a deeper story here and it goes to the heart of journalism. As I've said before, the press should exist primarily to challenge government, but that concept has gotten so lost that some people don't even understand it. Case in point: Judy Miller. If Arianna Huffington is to be believed, Ms. Miller is the epitome of the press having become a publicity agent of the government. In her blog, Ms. Huffington claims that Ms. Miller's "source" is, in fact, HERSELF! If that's true it's evidence of just how dysfunctional our government/press relationship has become. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/theblog/archive/arianna-huffington/judy-miller-do-we-want-_4791.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:167357 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
