Fox News ‘hacker’ turns out to be journalist whose lawyers say was doing his job

A Florida journalist has been arrested and charged with breaking into protected computer systems in a case his lawyers say was less “hacking,” more “good investigative journalism.”  Tim Burke was arrested on Thursday and charged with one count of conspiracy, six counts of accessing a protected computer without authorization, and seven counts of intercepting or disclosing wire, oral or electronic communications for his supposed role in the theft of unedited video streams from Fox News.
