Most of you would rather argue about "who's a journalist?" We would be smarter to protect the ACT of journalism. http://www.emptywheel.net/2013/07/14/why-members-of-the-news-media-should-welcome-a-shield-for-the-act-of-journalism/#sthash.CzXBZe5J.dpuf …
@Hesiod2k11 Was Judy Miller engaged in an act of journalism? @jayrosen_nyu @CorinneAM

@emptywheel@jayrosen_nyu@CorinneAM - She wouldn't reveal a confidential source. & I'm sure you defended her like@ggreenwald right? -
@Hesiod2k11 I asked you a question. (3, actually). If you can't answer those you've missed my entire point.@jayrosen_nyu@CorinneAM -
@emptywheel@jayrosen_nyu@CorinneAM - Miller wasn't jailed for those issues. She was jailed for not divulging a source. -
@Hesiod2k11 Moreover, SHE WAS treated as a journalist.@jayrosen_nyu@CorinneAM -
@emptywheel@jayrosen_nyu@CorinneAM - How about Bob Novak, then? -
@Hesiod2k11 What about Novak? HE was never jailed. He protected his convos w/Cheney--the only one who didn't waive privilege--successfully. -
@emptywheel - Ummm...Novak's source was Dick Armitage, later confirmed by Karl Rove & Bill Harlow. -
@Hesiod2k11 See? If you're unfamiliar w/facts of the case, you're not going to get far. Did you read Cheney's book? His first interview? - 2 more replies
