On what charge? The First Amendment is very clear about freedom of the
press. Funny, in the entire Constitution I can't find anything in it
about "classified" information. There's a reason for that.

If you truly believe journalists should be jailed for publishing
classified information, you really should consider a more appropriate
country for your ideological bent. China, perhaps?


But it's OK to squelch Fox News for disagreeing with Obama?

Yes, I think journalists who divulge classified information should be
jailed. I should have said 'properly classified'. Information which,
if in the wrong hands, can be detrimental to our national security
should not be published just because it makes a 'good story'.

Amen.



The great (new) canard of the right. Except, it didn't happen. Fox lied
about it happening, but it didn't happen.


That doesn't matter because we all know that Liberal writers want to
do it. They should all be shot and replaced with more strident,
goosestepping corporate opinion journalists who will support our great
regime (and arms manufacturers).
