Greg Palast kicks ass......

Mr. Rove and the Access of Evil

snips:

New York Times reporter Miller and her paper would rather she go to prison for four months than identify their "source." Why?

Maybe the problem for The Times is that this is the same "source" that used Miller to promote, as fact, her ersatz report before the invasion of Iraq that Saddam truly had nukes and bugs and chemicals he could launch at Los Angeles. That "source" too needs publication, Judy.

And thus we have Miller sucking on the steaming sewage pipe of White House lies about Iraq and spitting it out in the pages of The Times as "investigative reporting," for which The Times has apologized. Likewise, we had the embarrassment of Bob Woodward's special access to the Oval Office after the September 11 attacks when Woodward reported the exclusive news that the President was a flawless commander in chief in the war on terror -- for which Woodward has yet to apologize.

As Karl Rove chuckles and Judy does time, we are left to ask, What are Miller and The New York Times doing: protecting the name of a source or covering up their conduit to the Bush gang's machinery of deception?

2. Thank you so much! I would have missed this!
Greg Palast is just the best that there is and I am grateful to hear his take on this. The mainstream media has been yammering for days about this. It's a relief to finally have someone cut through the chatter and just tell the unvarnished truth. Thank you.:thumbsup:
