Governments
abhor transparency, and governments lie. To keep them (comparatively)
honest, an engaged and informed citizenry is indispensable.
That requires media that are aggressive and probing, and that are
not afraid to speak the truth. We have precious little of that in the
United States today.
Government media policy, bought and paid for by corporate
interests, has done the cause of transparency incalculable harm. The
Internet driven decline of print media hasn’t helped either.
Investigative reporting is now on the ropes, along with almost every other facet of genuine journalism.
