Quote: Mild Rover "People sometimes use a friendly journalist to put their side across, I've heard.'"
If by journalist you mean "apologist", if by "sometimes" you mean "regularly, consistently and over the course of a decade", and by "put their side across" you forgot to add "unchallenged, with no attempt to call out double standards and hypocrisy", I'd be inclined to agree.
I wish Miller well, unrealistic expectations have done for him. Don't blame him for digging his heels in with the six figure at stake.
