...

Arguably the lowest point of Miller's career was her reporting on the search for the supposed weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and her stories were cited by the Bush administration as a factor in their decision to invade the country. Her reporting, as we all now know, turned out to be patently false, and the Times mentioned her work in an editor's note acknowledging the flawed coverage.

Things did not improve from there. Miller left the Times in 2005 after testifying in the trial of former White House aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby that he had leaked her information about a CIA operative. Her initial refusal to testify led to her serving 85 days in jail.

Hmmm....

Not sure how I feel about this as a Newsmax subscriber.

[ColdOne]

So Newsmax leans left?

[Robert A Cook PE]

No “reporting” of her supposed “errors” - which in general supported Bush and Bush policies - is criminally left-wing biased.

[FormerACLUmember]

Seems like the usual character assassination by the democrat party Regime Media.

[9YearLurker]

Miller got railroaded by her employer and other lefties as I recall. Seems like an admirable move on the part of Newsmax.

Ujala Sehgal . Ujala Sehgal is an intern at Business Insider. She was formerly a financial regulatory lawyer. She received her JD from the University of Michigan.

Here you go, someone with lib credentials trying her best to discredit or otherwise impugn a real journalist.

[eaglesiniowa]

BTW, she looks decidedly ARAB to me, just saying. Wish i knew how to post pictures, but too old to learn i guess, so you all will have to trust me on the description. Also, being a good Buckeye, i have a hard time abiding anyone attending law school at that school up north.

[Jane Long]

Disgusting. No more Newsmax subscriptions for me. I change the channel every time I see her squinty mug on Fox, especially since she trashed Sarah during a commercial break on Jon Scott’s show.

The flagship vertical, Silicon Alley Insider, launched on July 19, 2007, led by DoubleClick founders Dwight Merriman and Kevin Ryan and former top-ranked Wall Street analyst Henry Blodget.

[La Lydia]

She was hardly disgraced, except in the eyes of the mainstream media. Remember, Scooter Libby was ratted out by Richard Armitage, not her. She appear regularly on Fox and is a principled, reasonable, intelligent commentator.

[BenLurkin]

First, verify for yourself that her stories really were “patently false”. If not, then....

[cripplecreek]

Yeah. Miller isn’t a favorite of mine but the tactic seems to be attacking anyone who steps out of line to work for an otherwise right leaning publication.

[Windflier]

...she trashed Sarah during a commercial break on Jon Scott’s show.

Thanks for the tip. I was all set to give her the benefit of the doubt, but that tears it for me.

[Keith in Iowa]

Newsmax is conservative??? Really??

[BenLurkin]

YIKES!

[dynachrome]

Looks like she is from India to me. Searching “Sehgal” turns up a lot of ‘em.

[Gondring]

Anthrax ping

[eaglesiniowa]

OK, wishful thinking on my part.

[dynachrome]

Looks pretty lefty from what I pick up searching her name
