FOX News reporter faces jail for not revealing sources

14. Fox news local reporters are different than FAUX news cable "reporters"

Some of them were actually legitimate journalism students as well as pretty talking heads, and do the best they can for the local markets.

As she purports to be a journalist - a member of the press, she is protected under the First Amendment. I have no issues with her trying to protect her sources - heck, even as much as I think Judith Miller was a hack, I didn't have an issue with her refusing to name her source for her "column".

This is because I want any investigation on "leaks" and unexpected or controversial breaking news to be a serious investigation instead of just bullying or beating up the reporter that broke the news. If the reporter broke the law to get their information, then I want the law to be just, instead of just a threat to whistleblowers.

In this case, since it was a notebook supposedly sent to the psychiatrist, it should not be too hard to identify where the "leak" came from. Either someone who knew Holmes, someone from the psychiatrist's office, or someone in the police force/DA's office who had access to evidence collected. Or the reporter made it up.
