I Miss MoDo

Posted on 10/23/2005 by Terrance

Now that the New York Times has put their columnists behind a virtual velvet rope, I don’t get my regular doses of Mean Maureen. Fortunately, Truthout has her latest column, in which she slices and dices Judy Miller.

Judy told The Times that she plans to write a book and intends to return to the newsroom, hoping to cover “the same thing I’ve always covered – threats to our country.” If that were to happen, the institution most in danger would be the newspaper in your hands.

It’s a great read, particularly if you’re a MoDo fan.

    Go to <a href=http://fbihop.blogspot.com>FBI HOP</a>. He doesn’t care about copyright laws. And I published MoDo’s latest column on my own site.

    I’m a writer and a big supporter of copyright laws but when it comes to the <i>NY Times</i> these days, I think I can afford to be a little hypocritical.

    The Times’s Public Editor spanked Judy pretty bad, too.  He ends his unveiled 10/23 column thusly:

    What does the future hold for Ms. Miller? She told me Thursday that she hopes to return to the paper after taking some time off. Mr. Sulzberger offered this measured response: "She and I have acknowledged that there are new limits on what she can do next." It seems to me that whatever the limits put on her, the problems facing her inside and outside the newsroom will make it difficult for her to return to the paper as a reporter.
