Um, are you the guy from HP customer service I was just talking to on the phone?
That’s a great response to rafi.
I can’t believe you selected the post on the shield law. It is such a bad idea.
Why is it a bad idea? I think that bloggers should have the same protections as journalists — although as Steve says, the proposed legislation seems a bit “mushy”
Why should there be ANY shield law? Why don’t we insist journalists get their sources on the record? Why don’t we protect whistle blowers?
C’mon — making up sources is half the fun of being a reporter!
All kidding aside — shield laws are the best. As a former journalist, trained at one of America’s top journalism schools — IU for all the alums reading this — I would have taken my sources to the grave with me.
Honest, accurate and fair journalists — reporters of merit that uncover, dig up and expose the dirty, the nasty and ugly of our world — if we didn’t have sources that trusted us to keep their identity secret, we wouldn’t have much credible journalism — just fluff.
Thank God I came to my sense soon after holding two newspaper reporting gigs. Now, I’m the source, and I like telling secrets.
Making them up is fun too, just kidding….
