Fox News Reporter’s Case Highlights Need For Federal Media Shield Laws, Panel Says

A panel of Fox News contributors spoke out this week in support of FoxNews.com reporter Jana Winter, who faces possible jail time for refusing to reveal the sources of her reporting in the case of Aurora, Col., gunman James Holmes.

"As a source, I sort of expect people to pull a Judy Miller, right?" said Julie Roginsky, referring to Miller's 2005 stint in jail after refusing to name sources involved in her reporting of the Valerie Plame case.

"If a judge ever went to them and said, 'who gave you this information?' I would fully expect them to stand by me no matter what because you have that sort of source confidentiality, which to me is sort of like attorney-client privilege," she said.

So, MORE government regulation is the answer? FoxNews is selling out to the liberal, babysitting courts. Since when is more government the answer? Wish there was a true conservative American news agency, not this front group run by an Australian.
