The First Amendment only applies to "journalists," don't you know?

“Legitimate” = “government approved.” This decision reeks of circular argument.

New Jersey: come for the taxes, stay for the corruption.

It shouldn't matter if it is a blogger, journalist, or "Joe on the street". Slander, libel, and out right lying were not intended to be protected speech. If an individual or organization does not want to reveal their source that is OK. They can take full responsibility for writing defamatory information.

Libel and Slander online MUST STOP. This is not about Free Speech when someone lies and smears another person or persons.

There is NOT any sense in the Bloggers online attacking people without facts. Typical Moonbats start lies until people believe the lie. Enough is enough...
