A reporter faces jail time unless he gives up a source at a hearing set Monday. As of Friday COB, the ct of appeals has not addressed his emergency motion to stay.

Gets boring to point out but nothing is normal about the covenant case. The press corps should be on fire. With a few exceptions, this is what local investigative journalists are covering.
This should be a national story.
Instead this is the last opinion of the week: a routine slip and fall at a hotel and then it’s Miller time …when a journalist is about to be jailed after being reported to the ct by a rival journalist.

Local media says school shooter’s threatening journal was “plea for help” and journalist reporting on the cover up is faulted for “selectively” leaking her documents.
What the shooter did is monstrous. Everything should be geared towards preventing another tragedy.
The selectively leaked writings show someone angry at being rejected by their own family over their gender identity. A plea for help.
The lesson is love harder, not hate harder.
