The journalism profession, already held in low regard by, well, everyone, isn't
doing itself any favors by 1) having its flagship trade organization -- the Society of Professional Journalists -- give Miller its "First Amendment Award" and 2) making Miller part of its efforts to pass a federal shield law. Miller will be testifying before Congress on behalf of that federal shield law.
Could these people come up with a more unsympathetic person and facts on which to pin their lobbying efforts?
