Judith Miller joins Jeff Gannon in list of disgarded psuedo-journalists who now have a blog
You know… I had forgotten that Jeff Gannon had a blog. In the vein of psuedo-professional hacks for specious agendas who upon their downfall get themselves blogs… we now have the Judith Miller Blog.
Two different animals, to be sure. I don’t believe Jeff Gannon was ever believed to have had credibility, and in the end he was just a bizarre curiosity — an easy escape valve for Scott McClellan in the asinine rituals of the Press Corps, to be sure, but mostly he just a small cog in the online right-wing echo chamber. (It is believed that he played a part in the defeat of Senator Tom Daschle, and for that Democrats are secretly grateful.) Judith Miller caused more harm — and I’ve repeated a highly simplified mantra of her much larger and more damaging place in a more specific agenda. (Gannon = “Conservative Movement”. Miller = “War with Iraq”.)
Sorry about what happened to Jeff Gannon’s dog. If Judith Miller’s dog dies too, I’ll offer my condolences for her as well.
