Judith Miller has a new alibi -- the blogs done her in!
Writer Marie Brenner presents Miller's latest defense in an April Vanity Fair feature story about the fallout from the Valerie Plame investigation. ...
The ones tossing the fire were those dastardlybut unnamedbloggers ...
In June, back in New York, "Miller realized that she was losing her authority" inside the Times. "None of my colleagues ever spoke to me about my reporting. But they would say, 'We don't want to work with her.'
In August, Bill Keller replaced Raines as executive editor, and according to Miller, he told her, "You are radioactive.
You can see it in the blogs."
"I'm pretty sure I never said any such thing," Keller tells Brenner. (This isn't the only recent "he said, she said" story in which Miller comes out the loser. See this sidebar.)
Miller describes to Vanity Fair the process by which the Pajama People destroyed her:
The bloggers were without editing, without a way for people to understand what was good, what was well reportedto distinguish between the straight and the slanderous. Things would get instantly picked up, magnified, and volumized.
(Sounds more like what my hairdresser does with my thinning locks. But never mind.)
In Miller's mind, the bloggers not only poisoned her relationship with the Times brass but also with her colleagues, who, she says, "believed what they read on the blogs."
...Exactly who were all these unnamed bloggers ripping Miller to pieces? ...
If nasty bloggers played such a crucial role in her downfall, why is Miller only now bringing them up? ...
A lame excuse? A case of recovered memory? Or something worse?

Interesting article...
She's full of it. We still don't know who the source of "valerie flame" is.
Ms Miller is the only one with secrets on this issue at this point. And the rest of the liberal media is seemingly uninterested. They have libby in their sights.
Scooter's lawyers have some questions for ya!
FYI.
The bloggers were without editing, without a way for people to understand what was good, what was well reportedto distinguish between the straight and the slanderous. Things would get instantly picked up, magnified, and volumized.
Sounds like the coverage on the WOT.
Judy, Judy, Judy. That's so lame.
Give her a break. Just who do these bloggers think they are? It's the job of the mainstream media to destroy people.

Why, without Miller and her ilk to distill the information,
the drooling masses were liable to believe anything...
No editors, oh the horror! Oh the humanity!
She and Mary Mapes would make a lovely couple.
LOL...I realize it seems hard to believe that a NYT reporter would claim to believe she is the David" and the little people the "Goliath" in this matter. But it is true she very much disliked, even when she was in jail, by every leftwing blog I read. She got no sympathy from them at all!
Long live the pajamahadeen!!!
Re your post #13 - Very true, but it depends on the forum. Now, on FR that's CERTAINLY true!
C'mon over and shed a tear for poor Judy.
LOL...
