DOJ sells out another reporter

CNN.com - Reporter convicted of contempt

A Providence, Rhode Island, television reporter was convicted of criminal contempt Thursday for refusing to say who gave him an FBI videotape showing a city official taking a bribe. Jim Taricani, of WJAR, is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Ernest Torres on December 9. The undercover tape was aired prominently and repeatedly by the station. Taricani faces up to six months in prison.
So, when does Novak go to jail?
