yes, but do we all get it? how do they create a privilege just for ivy league reporters from the mainstream media, and constitutionally deny it to Matt Drudge (for example) or bloggers?

If you're asking rhetorically, I agree. If you're actually asking a question, I assume that the statute would have some vague language that would have to be adjudicated by the judge of the case.

My guess is that any professional reporter and some amateur bloggers would be covered. I, for example, would not. But I'd rather like to think that the press has no greater entitlement to freedom of speech than I do.
