Lowest of Lows amongst a body of the Lowest - Schumer tries Press Control

If he can't stop them because of that Pesky 1st Amendment, he will try to intimidate the press' sources. The great Democrat who wants to hand pick who can report on him. If you want to really hurt Schumer, turn off all the cameras when he's around and don't ever cover him in print. He will wither into a deep megalomaniacal depression. It would be of great benefit for all of us. m/r



SCHUMER: SENATE HAS VOTES FOR MEDIA SHIELD LAW

A supporter of a bill to protect reporters and the news media from having to reveal confidential sources said Friday the measure has the backing of the Obama administration and the support of enough senators to move ahead this year.

Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, the No. 3 Democrat in the Senate, spoke optimistically about prospects for the measure, identifying five Republicans who would join with Democrats and independents on a bill that he said would address a constitutional oversight.

While the first amendment protects freedom of the press, "there is no first amendment right for gathering information," Schumer said at The New York Times' Sources and Secrets Conference on the press, government and national security. ...

...The bill's protections would apply to a "covered journalist," defined as an employee, independent contractor or agent of an entity that disseminates news or information. The individual would have to have been employed for one year within the last 20 or three months within the last five years.
