The FJP: Definition of "journalist" could pose problem for shield bill :

Bipartisan momentum is building for legislation that would give reporters new legal protections from government authorities who want them to reveal their confidential sources. But it’s far from clear whether the effort can overcome the objections that derailed similar bills in the Senate in 2007…

Virtually Everything the Government Did to WikiLeaks is Now Being Done to Mainstream US Reporters:

At Freedom of the Press Foundation, we believe it’s vital to defend WikiLeaks’ right to gather and publish classified information in the public interest, just as it’s vital to protect the rights of Associated Press and Fox News to do the same. Under the law, the AP, Fox News, and WikiLeaks are no different (a fact that even the government argues). If one falls, the others will not be far behind.

When they came for Wikileaks…

Want to see what a tornado looks like as it passes overhead, Twister-style? Here, a dude in a storm cellar says he “just stuck my camera out of the little hole.”

There is nothing I find more stressful than an over-full inbox. It weighs on me. I dream of the ever-growing inbox count and wake up each morning thinking about what needs to be read. It haunts me. I just need to clean this thing out tonight. I can’t sleep otherwise.
