In reply to the discussion: Fox learned about the subpoena nearly three years ago (updated) [View all]ProSense

"Apology. CNN is reporting that FOX recently learned about the search warrant"
...apologize because Fox lies. I mean, they lied about the subpoena. CNN's update is per a Fox official.
Even in correcting the lie the WSJ is trying to mislead. The NYT indicates the time frame is nearly three years, but the WSJ report states "more than two years."
In a couple of months it will be three years.
DOJ Notified News Corp. About Phone-Record Seizure
By DEVLIN BARRETT
The Justice Department notified the parent company of Fox News more than two years ago about its seizure of phone records belonging to one of its reporters, a Fox official said Saturday.
The parent company, News Corp NWSA +0.67%., didn't tell Fox about the notification, the Fox official said.
This new detail helps clear up a mystery at the heart of the continuing controversy over the government's actions. Over the past week, officials at Fox have denied they were notified of the phone-record subpoenas, while law-enforcement officials insisted they were. It appears the reason for the discrepancy was that the notice was sent to News Corp.
A News Corp. spokeswoman confirmed the company was notified in August 2010 and said it was looking into the matter.

You probably think it is illegal for a reporter to ask a government employee for classified info.

There is no "crime of soliciting classified information". You just made that crime up. nt
