Just a note to let you know you can stop worrying about me. I just landed a very lucrative job in what we in the business call the "adult-oriented edutainment industry"...

Judith Miller Joins Fox News
Fox Says "She Has A Very Impressive Resume"
Huffington Post | October 20, 2008
The Washington Post's Howard Kurtz reports that disgraced New York Times reporter Judith Miller will be joining Fox News, in an announcement expected to be made today:
Fox News is expected to announce today the hiring of a new contributor, a veteran national security correspondent who has shared a Pulitzer Prize.
Miller will be an on-air analyst and will write for Fox's Web site. "She has a very impressive resume," says Senior Vice President John Moody. "We've all had stories that didn't come out exactly as we had hoped. It's certainly something she's going to be associated with for all time, and there's not much anyone can do about that, but we want to make use of the tremendous expertise she brings on a lot of other issues. . . . She has explained herself and she has nothing to apologize for."
Dear Judith,
However tasteful the lighting and classy the music, I believe the New York Times style book specifies that it is “prostitution” if you suck dick for money, but if you suck dick for money on camera, the technical term is “porn”.
Man, that New York Times style book covers everything!

"Yeah, we trucked a bunch of concentration-camp "canned goods" out to that radio station just this side of the Polish border, dressed them in civvies, and drugged them senseless, while we had some SS patriots wearing Polish army uniforms shoot them, and the place, up...then give a four minute on-air rant about how Poland was invading Germany...
There now; I've explained it. Where's MY fucking pulitzer?"
This is like having a soaps queen who's suffering the passage of time, and the slings of critics, wind up in Juarez as the star/recipient of attention from a show co-starring an energetic and well-endowed donkey.
I'm trying to remember her Spy Magazine soubriquet--they mentioned her often enough.
[Later] Steve Gilliard disassembled her in 2004.
Obviously, there is still too much journalistic integrity at Fox News.
ouch
So I take it you and Judy won't be having Sunday brunch anytime soon?
"She has explained herself and she has nothing to apologize for."
i guess that's one way of looking at it.
d. thanks for the Steve G. link.

In "real life," if I pay "Ashley Lamp Post" to have sex with me, we both face criminal charges for prostitution/solicitation. However, if Driftglass pays Ms. Lamp Post and me to have sex AND he films, AND he shows to an theater full of people, (G-d help him!), it's "art."
Fox produces a conservative/GOP/pig-people infotainment product. None of the performers, individually, on Fox's infotainment "news" programing can offer their "information product" services to willing buyers as part of an information age commercial transaction. Placing their individual "information services" into the stream of commerce is an invitation to being sued for fraud, negligence, misrepresentation, malpractice, breach of contract or just plain lying.
However, if these same jokers all come together on camera and spew their lies, hate, incompetent obescience toward their class warrior overlords and dutifully prop up thoroughly debunked lies about discredited policies or GOP corruption, well, then it's just conservative performance art.
