Hell, I don't know if I'd comb through it all.<br /><br />I do not submit that all bloggers are journalists. Hell, I'd have to be pretty high to consider what I do here journalism. But as the ruling stands, even if I were to put on my journalism hat and go out and cover stories, and follow all of the rules that journalists are supposed to follow (most of which Tom Wolfe and Hunter S Thompson went out and broke), and I had thousands of people reading my articles, I would not be given protection as a journalist simply because I chose to present it in weblog format.<br /><br />That being said, the line between blogging and actual journalism is rather blurred. While I agree with you that bloggers should not automatically be given demarcation as journalists, I think that it is more than reasonable in this case to give them the right to withold sources, as denial of this right would prevent any blogger from legitemately journalizing.<br /><br />Weblogs can be a powerful tool, and I feel that this ruling could be an impediment.<br /><br />in any case, thank you very much for reading, and moreover thank you for posting. I quite enjoy your blog.<br /><br />Saije: Thanks for the link. I think I'm going to take every link I've been given and every link I've found on my own and put them in a separate sidebar. Hopefully, my newest post will attract some discussion, and I'll be able to stop talking about this until theres an actual new development :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17915186427167408768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024126.post-1110463347542937022005-03-10T09:02:00.000-05:002005-03-10T09:02:00.000-05:00E/W

I've heard good things about CSI. I guess I'll watch that one.<br /><br />I'll probably see the next Friday the 13th movie at least 3 times in the first week if its Tarantino.
