Freedom of the Prosecution — Here’s an amusing animation about the current “protect your journalistic sources” issue. If you are unfamiliar with the irony concerning the jailing of New York Times reporter Judith Miller is that she’s one of the most prominent neo-cons at the New York Times and one of the writers who pumped up the WMD story on behalf of Karl Rove. Most of the staffers there hate her. I have sources too!
I get the sense that this is all a big charade to pump up her image as reputable and gloss over the Bush-boosting WMD stuff. Now she’s a martyr. Good work Karl. Like I said. He’s a genius.
Excellent animation !!! And right on too, with a big bit of scary.
Maybe this is why the mainstream press has laid so low.
Rosa Brooks’ article just made it to the Portland, OR paper. A good read!
Oh?! I didn’t know this. Rather funny and revealing since one of my more hardline right wing acquaintances had just finished blasting the “New York Slimes” as he called it.
