The NY Times doesn't think the government should keep any secrets. I wonder if the NY Times thinks this rule applies to them? If they don't want any secrets then they should publish a list of their sources on the front page of tomorrow's issue.

Seems you don't understand the value of a free press.

Good for you. You can contemplate that value while reading a NYT issue with the next (and possibly preventible with some restraint by the press) terrorist attack that kills someone you care about.

You missed the point of my sentence. The point was that the NYT, or any newspaper, should not have to reveal their sources. Equating newspaper sources with government secrets is illogical. A free press is one of the cornerstones of our freedom.

You're missing the point. Fascists don't like freedom.

So because fascists don't like freedom, we shouldn't either?

No. I was suggesting that the poster's appeal to something being a cornerstone of freedom was likely pointless given the outlook of some of the posters here.
