Two key principles of the free press balance competing interests. First, on the government side, people with power can leak. If you're an underling, be prepared for prison torture like Bradley Manning. Second, on the press side, you're free to report good news, but make sure you come honestly by any bad news or you'll be called a criminal like James Rosen and your phones will be tapped. Isn't that fair?
