Same with journalists. They're at most lukewarm on privacy, maybe a little less now but certainly before Snowden, until someone wants to touch their privilege as members of the press to have untapped phone lines etc.
- at-fates-hands 11y agoThe ironic part of your statement is that the Justice Department scrutiny of James Rosen came and went and nothing was done. One of the foundations of this republic is a free press. In his case, you had a major abuse of power where the government started seizing his emails and going through them without his knowledge to try and build a case against him to release one of his sources to a story. And what happened? Absolutely nothing. No one was charged, there was no investigation, and two years on, does anybody even remember it or even care about it?
