Will Gizmodo Set the Standard for Journalistic Privilege?

This interview on National Public Radio explores the two cases of Jason Chen and James Risen in the news this week.

With the outing of the “finder” of the phone (here), it will be interesting to see how the Chen search controversy evolves.

    This whole thing is, well, as the Chicagoans might allow … hinky.

    There are many unanswered questions about how the phone was left behind, and by whom, and how the twenty-one-year-old who found it knew whom to call in order to get paid.

    Certainly the overreaction by law enforcement, in storming Chen’s place and seizing his belongings is disturbing, but there are just so many levels of weirdness here it’s hard to see up or down.

    Yes … but what a great advertising gimmick for Apple … Mad Men gone wild!

    Blouise and BIL … agreed.

    And Buddah, thanks for the enlightenment.

    Hmm, was this not a plant? and now a reason to get Search Warrant of Chen’s computer etc? Stranger things have happened.

    What happened to the person (employee) that had the phone?
