of more accurately the non-disclosure of anonymous sources we see it on the new york times is going crazy with it wall street journal is going crazy washington post every day it is some anonymous source making these outrageous statements and then we find out three days later there was no source that the whole thing was just just fabricated or if we find the source the source says no i didn't say that what is your take on what's happening with media are they inviting themselves to public anger and when you get public anger like that don't they invite more lawsuits against them even if somebody says you know what i don't care if i lose i'm going to take this shot what's your take. well first of all the journalists as i mentioned they don't have any constitutional protection when they couch their story as being information received from a confidential source i mean it used to be that the department of justice would leave the discovery of a concert confidential source as a last resort but again when when the government says we are going to go after these journalists for leaking information and it's not something you kno
