| The New York Times reported on Saturday that the ''Obama administration, leading Senate Democrats and a coalition of news organizations have reached tentative agreement on legislation providing greater protections against the fining or imprisonment of reporters who refuse to identify confidential sources.'' The 'Free Flow of Information Act'' would allow federal courts the power to stifle subpoenas for information from reporters or privileged "covered" persons if the judge determines the public interest is better served |
Comments: I'm thinking that what this will end up mainly doing is protecting people within the government who leak classified information to the press (like the NYT) endangering our national security and even causing death and destruction. And you know how many Democrat members of Congress, not to mention their staffs, have done this to the CIA, military and other agencies they just don't like. |
