It's scary how many people have come to believe the press freedom guarantee of the 1st Am is available only to "real journalists," so if you point out how attacks on Assange & O'Keefe jeopardize press freedoms, huge numbers will say: they're not journalists, as if that matters. — PolitiTweet.org

The right of a free press guaranteed by the 1st Am isn't available only to a small, cloistered, privileged group of citizens called "real journalists." Like all constitutional rights, it is for all citizens, and protects an act -- use of the press -- not a privileged group. — PolitiTweet.org
