The lethally hypocritical Judith Miller, case study in why it's crucial for American patriots to distrust ideological Zionists and mainstream media

From:
Judith Miller Scolds Assange for not ‘Verifying’ Sources

(Amcon blog) -- by Kelley Vlahos --

Rarely do we see hypocrisy with such sparkle! Judith Miller, queen of the Curveball, matron of the missing WMD, maiden of the cakewalk, told her fellow media analysts on FOX News Watch this weekend that Julian Assange is a “bad journalist.” Why?

“because he didn’t care at all about attempting to verify the information that he was putting out, or determine whether or not it hurt anyone.”

See Judith Miller on Assange and Hat tip to Crooks and Liars this morning.

Judith Miller was heavily exploited as a very useful, very willing tool for the neoconservatives pushing the country into war with Iraq in 2003. Citing unverified evidence of Saddam Hussein’s nuclear ambitions, Miller wrote for The New York Times a series of reports that were later used by the Bush Administration as grounding for the invasion. Here was her response when it all backfired and fingers started pointing to her shoddy, agenda-ridden reporting:

“[M]y job isn’t to assess the government’s information and be an independent intelligence analyst myself. My job is to tell readers of The New York Times what the government thought about Iraq’s arsenal.”

Too bad, lady. But your little boo-boos have led to the deaths of tens of thousands of Iraqis, 4,730 coalition soldiers, millions displaced, not to mention the orphans and widows (on both sides), the maimed, the mentally broken. The earth is scarred and polluted and there is a government there that has been, and likely still is, torturing its political enemies just as badly if not worse than Saddam Hussein.

Miller has found an unsurprising haven at FOX News, and her compatriots on the show this weekend were polite enough not to draw attention to the bald ironies being played out on the set. She starts work at Newsmax.com this week. Apparently, that is where all the “good journalists” go these days, right Judith?...MORE...LINK

Chris Moore comments:

Indeed, The New York Times and its many ideologically Zionist lackeys masquerading as journalists working there throughout its history and to this very day are ALL "very useful, very willing tools for the neoconservatives" -- AND the neoliberals, as well (not that there's much difference between the two).
