[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2260015, member: 1132"] Words escape me. :( [url]http://news.yahoo.com/senators-ponder-bloggers-deserve-first-amendment-protection-100210649.html[/url] Senators ponder if bloggers deserve First Amendment protection. "However, in todays world, the definition of the word journalist means different things to different people, and two powerful Senators, Dianne Feinstein and Richard Durbin, say journalists only should enjoy extended First Amendment protection if they work for traditional media outlets on a paid basis. The Free Flow of Information Act was introduced earlier this year by Senator Charles Schumer, who had introduced a similar bill in 2009 with the late Senator Arlen Specter. Back then, Feinstein and Durbin wanted strict definitions of the word journalists after the WikiLeaks story broke. Their current amendment to the bill poses the same questions. This bill is described as a reporter shield law I believe it should be applied to real reporters, Feinstein said last week. The current version of the bill would grant a special privilege to people who arent really reporters at all, who have no professional qualifications. [/QUOTE]
