Fox News reporter ordered to return to court over refusal to reveal sources in Colo. shooting case 01 Apr 2013 The FoxNews.com reporter who broke the exclusive story about a notebook that Colorado shooter James Holmes sent to his psychiatrist, then refused to reveal her sources under threat of jail, was ordered to return to the Aurora courtroom April 10, in a case experts say has chilling ramifications for the First Amendment. Arapahoe County District Judge Carlos Samour intends to question a detective for a second time about who leaked the notebook, and then could still put veteran reporter Jana Winter on the stand and try to compel her to reveal the sources of her story. Winter and attorneys for Fox News have resisted efforts by Holmes's defense team to make Winter reveal who may have violated a gag order issued by Judge William Sylvester, who reassigned the case to Samour.

This would be no big deal if the reporter had been from the New Yawk Times, CNN or PMSNBC.

You watch the mainstream media say NOTHING about this, because they want to end our right to the second amendment enough to undermine their own right to the first to get it.

Oh bring it on, stupid judge!

Was national security at stake? No. Was the report a vicious lie? No.
ROTFLMAO.
Welcome to the information age!
