Let's say SCOTUS DOES give reporters special privileges. Then we get to have the discussion about WHO is a REPORTER. That would be sweet too

That's why the media, ironically, has historically been opposed to "shield laws". They're afraid that the government will start requiring licensing of journalists, and they sure as shit don't want that.
