Feinstein: You’re Not a Real Journalist Unless You Draw a Salary


My comment;  Beware, they want to control all media!  By putting fear out there they expect to only have government controlled news. The same way Hitler did.    Another example of ripping up the constitution.

California Senator Dianne Feinstein has proposed an amendment to the Media Shield Law – an irrelevant law ignoring protection already afforded by the First Amendment – that would limit the law’s protection only to “real reporters,” not bloggers and other upstart alternative media types.

A real reporter, declared Madame Feinstein during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, is “a salaried agent” of a media company like the New York Times or ABC News, not a shoestring operation with volunteers and writers who are not paid.

Feinstein voiced her concern “that the current version of the bill would grant a special privilege to people who aren’t really reporters at all, who have no professional qualifications,” like bloggers and citizen journalists.

Last week, Senator Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat, worried the Shield Law, if passed, would be used to protect whistleblowers and others who ferret out government corruption.

“The world has changed. We’re very careful in this bill to distinguish journalists from those who shouldn’t be protected, WikiLeaks and all those, and we’ve ensured that,” Schumer said. “But there are people who write and do real journalism, in different ways than we’re used to. They should not be excluded from this bill.”

    Feinstein doesn’t want real citizen journalism because she is a criminal that doesn’t want her husbands insider non-compete contracts to resell all United States Post Office real estate through his real estate company exposed. The Main Stream Media which has conspired to cooperate and support the criminal activity of Washington insiders is who she supports. I would propose that non criminals should be the only ones that propose legislation.
