another prediction of mine come true

7 years ago I predicted that the advent of private blogs run by concerned and caring individuals would come under attack by the government trying to label them non journalists, which removes part of their 1st Amendment rights.

“[T]he media shield law, which I am prepared to support … still leaves an unanswered question, which I have raised many times: What is a journalist today in 2013?,” Durbin offered. “We know it’s someone that works for Fox or AP, but does it include a blogger? Does it include someone who is tweeting? Are these people journalists and entitled to constitutional protection? We need to ask 2st century questions about a provision that was written over 200 years ago.” - Sen. Dick Durbin
