Those Responsible, 1939 vs 2009

One by one they fall. Change is here. This time it’s citizen journalism and related first amendment rights.

As reported by Mark Hemingway¹, Senator Feinstein D-California and Durbin D-Illinois have proposed an amendment to a new “press shield law”; the law originally put fourth by Specter D-Philadelphia.

According to observers, this amendment has the purpose of making activities such as the infamous ACORN video sting illegal or at a minimum no longer federally protected journalistic activity.
