Comments: Dual Responsibilities

There's an important distinction between leaking a story and giving information under condition of anonymity. That aside, in all but one state, there is at least some level of privilege on information told to a member of the press. Think about all those whistle-blowers on 20/20 or 60 Minutes: if they couldn't be protected by the media, they'd never agree to talk.

Otherwise, the real problem with Judy is that she apparently is quite selective with which sources she protects and which she outs.

Finally, why on earth did they decide to put you on that blogger panel? j/k
