Bill Maher faced off with ex-New York Times reporter Judith Miller tonight and asked her why she wasn’t more skeptical in her reporting leading up to the Iraq War. Miller told him that she “couldn’t have been more skeptical” if she tried, but politicians lie.
Miller doesn’t believe that Dick Cheney‘s evil or George W. Bush was naive or the Bush administration didn’t cherry-pick, but Maher said he does believe all of those thing. He asked, “Why should I believe you if I don’t believe any of these assertions?”
Miller talked about a mix of hawks and doves in the administration and the misguided “high confidence” they had about WMDs in Iraq, and said she was going off the same information that every other major news outlet did.
Maher vented a little about the media and told Miller it’s the job of the fourth estate to call out “bullshit” from the military-industrial complex, but they’re not doing a great job of that.
