Judy Miller talks about integrity over Wikileaks but should look in the mirror
Former New York Times “journalist” Judy Miller – who pushed countless bogus reports over Iraq’s non-existent WMDs – tells Fox News (where else?) that Julian Assange is a “bad journalist” because he didn’t verify his sources. You can’t make this stuff up:
Happy new year, Rupert
Following Britain’s Business Secretary Vince Cable declaring his opposition to Rupert Murdoch, this letter in today’s UK Independent expresses the views of many who care about media diversity and decency: Vince Cable’s remarks to the undercover reporters were undiplomatic, yes, but heartening nevertheless. What Cable didn’t say was why he thinks so little of Murdoch.…
Yes, Murdoch paper makes up stories
What a shock: The Sun has owned up to what I guess we in the journalism trade realised the moment we saw it – its splash about the pre-Christmas live episode Coronation Street being targeted by al-Qaeda was false.
A “serious” newspaper debases itself
Perfection.

The Sydney Morning Herald’s Lenore Taylor does and her recent column simply “reported” alarmist Israeli comments over the supposed threat of Iran. It wasn’t journalism; it was very effective stenography. No alternative voices were offered. Today, in Murdoch’s Australian,…
The perfect storm with Zionist lobby and Islam haters
Max Blumenthal has the goods on the growing campaigns in the US organised with the Zionist lobby, anti-Muslim haters, Republican politicians and those looking for a scape-goat. Remember Jews; this is the new public face of our religion. What are you doing about it?
Wikileaks comes to the Murdoch bosom
From David Leigh, Guardian’s investigation’s editor: The #guardian published too many leaks for #Assange ‘s liking, it seems. So now he’s signed up “exclusively” with #Murdoch‘s Times. Gosh. UPDATE: Times journalist confirms Assange has merely provided his paper with an interview, no more.
