Godfather[edit]

Is this is that guy who godfather is Frank Costello?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.9.58.135 (talk) 16:10, 12 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

"Senior Correspondent CBS News" education?[edit]

For such a lofty title I was expecting to find some background on the internet (somewhere, anywhere!) as to his education - I could not.--68.231.15.56 (talk) 01:25, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On 4/21/17 at the New York Law School "City Law Breakfast" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P57Uyumnoig&ab_channel=MediaSite) at around the 54:46 video location he answered a question regarding his educational background stating that he spent "six years in high school" and "one year of college". He further elaborated stating that he worked in professional journalism as a "reporter on the street" at 18 years old and did that for "25 years" explaining that his learning as been in "the college of doing it". Not exactly the most helpful for wiki purposes but I hope this helps. He always seemed like a guy who was in the right place, at the right time, with the right people. Not a knock on the guy, just an observation. DPG1987 (talk) 04:14, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Miller began work as a journalist in 1973"[edit]

"Miller began work as a journalist in 1973" - I dont mean to be aggressive - but - was he born that day? - cause nothing points to his existence before that day.--68.231.15.56 (talk) 02:23, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If he was born in 1958 or 1959 then he was 14 or 15 when he became a journalist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.188.202.41 (talk) 04:49, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"he was an Assistant Director of Public Affairs for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)"[edit]

"he was an Assistant Director of Public Affairs for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)" is he a graduate of quantico? was he an agent?--68.231.15.56 (talk) 02:29, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I'm able to uncover, he's one hell of a police department A/V aide. Rt3368 (talk) 18:56, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Education[edit]

I find it very strange that no mention of any formal education can be found anywhere on the internet. He worked for the FBI...did he graduate from Quantico or, at least, FLETC? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.25.213.230 (talk) 16:19, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He's a well-connected TV journalist, publicist and P.R. man, notably once for Bill Bratton. As far as I can tell he has no kind of credentials for anything. In 1995, The Washington Post identified him as Bratton's "press spokesman"; the reference suggests Miller's antipathy in that position with then Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.[1] His association with Bratton seems to have endeared him to the G.W. Bush Justice Department where he may have become "Assistant Director for Public Affairs," after which, apparently, it was All Systems Go for Mr Miller. Rt3368 (talk) 19:58, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rename rationale[edit]

Renamed this article from John Miller (journalist) to John Miller (police official), as he is currently not a journalist, but an official. As his name may be set to appear more in articles related to policing, then it can be confusing, if a wikilink to his name says 'journalist'. -Mardus /talk 02:57, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Of course the mayor's tactics backfire. Purges, centralized information control, casting opponents as the epitome of evil -- an entire group of nations in the Eastern bloc gave up on that style of government. It isn't working much better for Rudy.
