Ten bucks says no follow-up reporting or investigations on this.

[Mik]

Nope. That's a make-it-go-away action. Nobody saw anything. Trust them.

A federal judge has held the veteran investigative reporter in civil contempt for refusing to divulge her source for a series of stories during her time at Fox News.

Maybe. There was a reporter during the Bush (II) era who refused to reveal a source. She was held in contempt and spent about 6 months in the clink. She never revealed, iirrc.

Thought the same thing.

Supposedly she has a stellar reputation for being a dogged reporter.

Gotta wonder why she left Fox a few years ago. Money or ideology.
