What is happening to him and the Times reporter is wrong. Sleezy reporters like Novak are aiding this when they refuse to identify their sources when they have obviously been used for political purposes. In Novaks case no crime was committed. It was just an attempt to discredit a point of view.
The media is now running scared. And Dan Rather didn't help the case either.
For those who understand no explanation is needed, ...For those who don't none will.
