Judith Miller, the journalist who was jailed for refusing to divulge her sources, has an interesting take on the the new tourniquet being applied to the profession. Miller's article about another contempt of court case, appeared today in The Wall Street Journal.
Coincidentally, John McCain's campaign is questioning the veracity of the story that appeared in the New York Times, about his alleged relationship with a lobbyist. The McCain "hit piece" seems to have taken a turn to be a story about the New York Times itself. The paper reports that more than 2000 comments have come in, critical of the article.
Arizona Republic quotes an ASU professor, Michael Rubinoff, who thinks this might be nore more than a "small radar bleep," considering the momentum McCain has right now. What's so odd about the hit piece is that the Times recently endorsed McCain. Maybe it is trying to appear objective, by going totally to the other side.
