[QUOTE="Timmy G, post: 12994, member: 189"] [b]Mike Ruppert speaks of civil war![/b] One of the traits that makes American society among the greatest in the world is its freedom of speech and of the press. The free flow of information has long been recognized as one of the hallmarks of a free society, and is essential to the proper functioning of a free press. Journalists' ability to keep sources of information private and confidential helps to obtain this free flow of information. Without this confidentiality, sources of information may decrease and the press would no longer be able to provide the same quality and quantity of information to the public. Because of the recognized importance of the free flow of information to the press, the privilege of confidentiality will only be overcome where a demonstrated, specific need for evidence presents a paramount interest to which the privilege must yield. That said, there is no "Newsman's Privilege", and that fact was established unequivocally in the Supreme Court's 1972 Branzburg decision, which stated: [i]The issue in (these type of) cases is whether requiring newsmen to appear and testify abridges the freedom of speech and press guaranteed by the First Amendment. [b]We hold that it does not.[/b] [/i] I suppose it all depends on if one feels that the information disclosed is 'important' or not. Who decides if it is pertinent information? When it comes to the article in question - who figured the information disclosed is important? Was is perhaps the guy who was running against the man in question? ....its all headed in a direction that stinks.. s'all i gotta say :huh: [/QUOTE]
