What an awful idea. This would create a special class of individuals known as ‘journalists’ with protections no other citizens enjoy.
If this goes through Rob, I expect you to issue special Say Anything press credentials so we can take advantage of this.
Perhaps in the future, everyone will be a ‘journalist’.

This is John McCain selling us out to pander to the press, his true constituency. What’s funny is he’s probably arrogant enough to think they won’t be turning on him in five, four, three.....

McCain has no baseline beliefs.
He changes with the wind.
Don’t hold him to anything.

Wouldn’t this all but inoculate the press from any sort of action for libel? I mean if you can print anything and attribute it to a source you do not have to disclose how could anyone prove libel? ... not like they are ever held accountable for libel as it is, but still.

I have a source that told me that Obama is a Muslim and Hillary got shot at by a sniper while in Bosnia. Don’t ask me to disclose my sources. I will soon be shielded, lol.
Come on McCain. Let’s see if Mccain’s views change when he gets hit with another untrue investigative report like President Bush got hit with right before the 2004 election.
