  • The Government should NEVER be in the business of deciding who is or is not a “reporter” for purposes of shield laws, etc. 16:55:07

  • When and if government can snoop to find sources, compel you to reveal sources, etc should be same for NYTimes and random guy with blog. 16:59:57
  • Of course I think there should be very high bar to justify that sort of thing. Some would argue a low bar. But should not differ by day job. 17:01:06
  • There should not be a special class of people with extra rights with the government getting to pick & choose who is in that class. Bad idea! 17:02:22
