Pillowtalk Judy Miller: Media Should Have Stuck Together on Libby Subpoenas

NEW YORK Judith Miller, the former New York Times reporter who went to jail for almost three months in 2005 when she chose not to name Lewis "Scooter" Libby as a source, said Friday the media failed a major test when reporters and news outlets ultimately gave in to subpoenas from prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, U.S. News & World Report relates."Had the press hung together," Miller said, the damage done to the media during the Plame/CIA leak probe, would have been reduced.The magazine continues: "Miller, speaking at the National Press Club during a media forum, blamed the nation's deep political divisions for making news organizations wary of fighting the orders to testify. 'These are very difficult times,' said Miller, noting that there are at least 70 active subpoenas of journalists....[This is] when solidarity really counts,' she said. More on the story.

Judy is simply pissed because the Libby trial exposed Miller as a scattered brain journalist who is still living on the glory days and gravy train as Pulitzer Prize writer. She became the joke of the trial with the discovery of Miller leaving her notes in a shopping bag.

Judy Judy Judy got busted. Judy sold out the public for the lies she told about the Iraq WMDs. She worked with the criminal White House and got paid big bucks to use her name. It's not Fitzgerald's fault she got caught. As for the damage to Media/Press Judy had other in her profession doing the same thing for the money. Judy held over 3000 young soldiers get killed for the lies she helped push in print. Our country is at the weakest we've ever been thanks to Judy. Her show boat got to jail didn't work as the lies came out in the trial. Now as for her credibility well she has none. Now she's blaming other journalist who weren't working with the White House crime team to look bad.
Judy made her bed now she has to lay in it, but she did get those extras.
