Just read that Judith Miller is joining Fox News. Is anyone else disturbed by this?

The NYT Judith Miller? That one?

FOX is letting another fox into the henhouse. F & B is getting a little tippy.

Glenn Beck announced today that he is moving to Fox.

This will happen after the election, for contract reasons.

I think they are going overboard in trying to prove they are "fair and balanced"

I'd put it another way.

I would have said the NYT report that was duped by Chalabi and other Iraqi exiles in the months preceding the invasion into printing stories that, in part, led the American public to believe that Iraq had WMDs.

Or the NYT reporter that US gov officials used as a conduit to place more stories that said that Iraq had WMDs.

Or the NYT reporter that erroneously reported that US troops had found WMDs in Iraq after the invasion.

Or the NYT reporter that went to jail because she wouldn't say Scooter Libby leaked Valerie Plame's name.

I don't see why she wouldn't fit in at Fox.

She has a history of very sloppy reporting, but the knee jerk "NYT reporter = liberal pawn" gets tiresome.

afchic,
I think the deal went like this --- We get Glen Beck, but we have to take Miller as a penalty.

"Is this the face that launched a thousand ships?" I think it's been that way for a long time.
