Shield laws? We don’t need no stinkin’ shield laws…

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wants a shield law to protect the anonymity of journalists’ sources.

I say people have the right to confront their accusers in court…and they should also have the right to confront their accusers in the court of public opinion.

Leakers, viagra buy cialis whistleblowers, and other anonymous “sources” are cowardly manipulators of the system.

Journalists should be apologizing for ever using (or falling prey to) such sources, not endorsing a law that would encourage and shield them.
