Time for Another Blogger Ethics Panel………

60 minutes just did a laudatory story on the NSA showing.

They show how this heroic group of people just want to protect us.

Well, now we know why.  It turns out that the host of that segment previously wrked for the office of the Director of National Intelligence, and was Looking at leaving journalism to take a job as spokesman for the NY Police intelligence unit:
"60 Minutes" received another round of criticism Sunday for what critics called soft coverage of the National Security Agency -- and the next morning, the host of that segment was reported to be taking a job in intelligence or counterterrorism.

The news program was given "unprecedented access" to the agency and its employees, said host John Miller at the outset of the report -- where he did note that he had formerly worked in the office of the Director of National Intelligence.

But the Daily Beast and Huffington Post have reported in recent days that Miller was under consideration for a job at the NYPD in an intelligence or counterterrorism role. On Monday, the New York Post's Page Six reported that Miller was on the verge of taking such a job.
Revolving door journalism.

Yet one more way that certain members of the 4th betray their profession.
