I do not know why this was downmodded. The last line was somewhat snarky (I like Fox personally), but these are valid questions and form a genuine and important debate in many circles.
- jamesbritt 17y agoI was about to post much the same questions (minus the Fox sentiment). How does one decide who is a journalist, and who is not? What makes a something a publication; what makes that publication a newspaper or a news source? Is it like jazz or pornography; you know it when you hear it or see it, but can't really define it? I can understand wanting some distinction with regards to obstruction of justice, but I also worry that bestowing special protections on select groups is prone to political manipulation.
- kjhgbhnm 17y agoIts the same problem with the difference between pornography and art. We need some way of having official artist or author licenses so we know which is which. ps. Sorry for the misunderstanding - where I live we have a state broadcasting corporation and FOX is the beacon of a free press.
