I suppose we will find out sooner or later, but reporters go to jail all the time to protect their sources, though not usually for long, because they know that protected sources are their bread and butter.
Without protected sources it is much difficult for reporters to get information. If we had had a strong conservative press in 1994, Bill Clinton would probably be in jail.
If Hillary wins in '08, and Hillary has the power to muzzle the conservative press, I hate to think about it.
That's fine. Even judges who agree with your point and are inclined to grant such a privilege have ruled that in this case it does not apply.
Please read this ruling (I advise you read the whole thing):
And one more point before you delve into your reading assignment; the courts have ruled based on current law per the Supreme Court.
You are commenting as if a new standard has been made. It has not.
