Not surprising to see Judy Miller joining Fox News. Quite surprising to see her declare herself, to the Politico's Mike Calderone, an Obama backer:
"I was a Hillary supporter who has gone over to the Obama side," Miller told Politico earlier by phone. "Lots of people think they know what I believe, but don't."Miller said she has "very firm views on national security" and has been free to write about such matters in recent opinion pieces, but "has always been very personal and private about [her] political views."
First question: Did the folks at Fox know this? Second and more interesting question: On what basis would someone with Miller's evidently neoconnish foreign policy views be backing Obama over McCain? It doesn't make much sense to me. Maybe it has to do with La Pasionaria of Juneau? Anyway, it means that Fox just hired itself an Obama-supporting former New York Times reporter! May they sign up many more such.
