47. Should the court allow the reporter's attorney to continue this line of questioning?

At the deposition with the association's chairman, the reporter's attorney asked the chairman to name the 10 largest contributors to the association. The association's attorney objected to the question, directed the chairman not to answer, and stopped the deposition to move the court to disallow this line of questioning on the grounds that the question sought to invade First Amendment rights and that disclosure of the association's contributors' names would be likely to deter contributions to the association.

An association sued a reporter in federal court, alleging that the reporter made a false, slanderous statement that the association was primarily funded by foreign terrorists.
