[Servant of the 9]

Reporters Shield Laws were always a bad idea, but today they are totally destructive.

Who, in this day of Blogs is a Journalist?

Damned near everyone.

The Espionage Laws are now nearly useless since anyone can now make a resonable case that they are a journalist and refuse to testify.

Who, in this day of Blogs is a Journalist?

I was thinking this same thing when I read this article. No one can even agree on a definition of the press (re: campaign finance reform), but the press should be shielded from revealing sources?

Unless someone can make an argument that the original meaning of "freedom of the press", as enshrined in the US Constitution, was intended to convey special protection for concealing anonymous sources, I've got no sympathy for Ms. Miller.
