Shouldn't we be doing more to discuss the nature of classified material that was exposed by the press, rather than just whether the "free press" is a good thing? Isn't there a continuum between reporting on e.g. D-Day invasion plans two days before and a judge who accepted cash to issue an injunction to stop vote counting in a contested election? And wouldn't the press be guilty of treason for the former, but fourth-branch status for the latter?
