re: #290 Killgore Trout

I don’t think his own delusions about journalism have much legal standing. But even if he is legally considered a journalist I’m not sure it would make a difference. If the New York Times started publishing mass amounts of stolen government documents I suspect they’d find themselves in trouble too.

Heh tell me you’re being ironic. The NYT was the actual one who successfully argued that newspapers do in fact have the right to publish government documents before the USSC, provided they weren’t the ones to actually steal them. In that particular case it was the pentagon papers, but legally I don’t see a different.
