Who is Emily Miller?
I’m what people call a “DC Insider.” But I’m not like the rest of them. I tell the whole truth. It sometimes gets me in trouble. And I’ve made enemies. I’ve also made a lot of loyal friends (who aren’t dogs.)
I’ve been a national TV reporter and a presidential appointee. There’s even a Hollywood movie character based on me (more about that here.) But I’m the real Emily Miller.
TV and Presidential Appointee
I have a rare combination of experiences in my career. I’ve been a journalist in mainstream media (ABC News, NBC News) and conservative media (Fox, OAN, The Washington Times.)
Also, I’ve worked in the most powerful offices in the government as a strategic advisor and spokesman at the FDA (details here), The State Department and Capitol Hill. I know everyone in this town. That access gets me inside information.
I have worked for and with the most powerful people in media and government in Washington. I know them. They don’t scare me. That makes me dangerous (which is surprising when you meet me in person and see I’m barely 5’2”.)
I’m a published author of the book Emily Gets Her Gun. I’ve won multiple awards for investigative journalism. My reporting has led to the laws being changed in D.C. and Virginia. I will fight for the Constitution, the underdog, the rights of individuals, fairness and common sense. The last line in my book: “The fight is for freedom.”

Help me stay free of outside influence. I’ve never taken money from advertisers in my career. I’ve never taken sponsorship money. I’ve never sold my readers’ email addresses. I’ve stayed as clean of influence as possible in order for my readers to know they can trust me.
Why Emily Posts is different
Original reporting: What makes my journalism unique is that I rarely use reporting from other outlets because I don’t trust them for accuracy. That’s why I give my readers original and first-hand sources. If I use someone else’s reporting, I link to it and verify it as much as I can before passing it on to you.
Civility: I named this newsletter for the journalist Emily Post, who wrote iconic books on etiquette because we need a place for civilized debate on politics and culture.
I can no longer stand to be called names, get in online fights with strangers, be threatened, or have my heart rate go up simply because I tweeted, jumped in comments on a website or posted on Facebook.
You will find respect for each other’s opinions and a calm place to read, learn and engage. People like the ones in the photo below — who protested to get me fired when I was a chief investigative reporter at Fox 5 DC — are not welcome.
