TIME Magazine-A Bunch Of Weenies

I cannot believe that this once venerable media outlet has turned over one of it's reporters notes, etc. They say, oh well, we are not above the law. This is a country that prides itself upon it's free press. We have denegrated other countries due to their censorship. The only way to have a truely free press, is to allow reporters to maintain the confidentiality of it's sources. Otherwise, there would be no stories to tell. Some say, so what. I say, the media is integral in maintaining dignity in society. Yes, the media has it's problems. But we would never have known about Nixon's corrupt administration, if it were not for media and their ability to ensure the confidentiality of it's sources. There are hundreds, thousands of other examples. I say, bravo...to the reporters who stood their ground and were imprisoned for maintaining the identities of their confidential sources, and booooo to TIME for chickening out and loosing their journalistic integrity.
