How about the female MSM reporter that was jailed for leaking Plame in her articles?
And a majority of the MSM's petitioned the government claiming that 'everyone' knew about Plame and therefore the female reporter had committed no crime?
It was enough that she was released from jail.
Miller didn't publish any article relating to Plame. Miller was jailed for refusing to comply with a subpoena for information. She and Cooper litigated "reporter proviledge" all they up to the Supreme Court.

The friend of the court brief by 32 news agencies was submitted with a request that the Circuit Court of Appeals rehear the case. The argument was that it is wrong for an investogator to compel testimony when one element (covert status) is missing from the alleged offense ("outing the covert agent").
The brief argued that testimony cannot be compelled in that circumstance.
It was enough that she was released from jail.
Miller got out of jail by agreeing to, and testifying. She complied with the subpoena.
