Or, make up a story, and then use a "reporter's privilege," to pass it off as factual.

What's with Dole? Can't he see that any law that protects journalists leaves the MSM wide open to abuse that law?

The MSM abuses their power anyway....what if the whistle were being blown on a confidential issue under a HRC administration on domestic surveillance or some other such hillaryesque approach? Would you doubt she would have a journalist jailed in a second if she could?
