Press

Judith Miller was being interviewed on TV and made some rather interesting comments. She is the NYT's reporter who went to jail rather than reveal her sources. She was saying that the job of the press is to report the facts in the most objective way. Then she quoted the saying: never argue with someone who buys ink by the barrel and followed up by saying the press may come after you if you go after them. She was referring to President Trump but indirectly she said that objectivity may be tempered with retaliation.
