New You say that like it's a bad thing
Why shouldn't anyone with a blog enjoy the protections we afford the press? They're not "real" press? So now there is some standard?

For centuries freedom of the press only applied to those who owned the press. Now we all have access. Look at Drudge. Came out of nowhere, now there's no one trying to claim he's not press.

If you're going to establish standards for who counts as press, and who gets those protections, you better put a lot of thought into unintended consequences.

New "I" didnt say anything
was offering an opinion by someone who is well qualified to express one.
Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free American and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 55 years. meep
