A Few Of My (Least) Favorite Things

By Patrick on December 22, 2005 12:53 PM

Arianna Huffington gives us her list of things she won’t miss about 2005.

Some notables:

  • That the New York Times held off running the NSA spying story for
    over a year.

  • Jeff Gannon, White House correspondent — aka Jeff Guckert, hotmilitarystud.com.

  • Judy Miller, Bob Woodward, Viveca Novak: The Three Media Stooges of Plamegate

  • That voters could have gone to the polls in 2004 knowing that Bush was spying on Americans, that a key White House aide was charged with felonies, and that the initial reasons for invading Iraq were bogus — but didn’t, thanks to the timidity of the mainstream media.
