David Corn asks why Miller is allowed to break stated New York Times policy with impunity (and gives a belated apology for his earlier columns sticking up for Miller).
David Corn Sorry, Times, the Miller Mess Ain't Over
Also, as NPR's David Folkenflik reported yesterday ..., when Miller agreed to identify Scooter Libby as an unnamed “former Hill staffer” and not as a senior administration official in return for obtaining critical information on Wilson from Libby, she was violating the Times policy on anonymous sourcing. The paper requires reporters to characterize an unnamed source accurately so readers can evaluate if this source has an agenda. So why was Miller not fired or disciplined for this breach? Though she ended up not writing a piece on Wilson, she admits in her first-person account she colluded with Libby to conceal a White House attack on Wilson. At the least, Keller should issue an editor's note.
