She shoulda been axed then, but instead they kept her on as their resident "special" case.
And if recollection serves, at least the NYT DC bureau's policy (and perhaps NY's as well) was not to protect sources who lied, were spreading disinformation, etc. Reporter's have no obligation to protect sources who are engaged in such activity. (Besides, I recollect reading that Miller previously at least on one occasion in an unrelated story outed one of her actual whistleblower confidential sources in print while completely distorting what her source told her. So much for protecting her sources.)
Unfortunately the Times continues to protect and support Miller herself while she herself is still shoveling BS and practicing sleight of mouth.
