Fox News was recently told by the SEC that they no longer need to honor Freedom of Information requests. Of course, this is one of the provisions of the hastily passed financial regulation legislation. A provision that, like many others yet to be revealed, was hidden in the umpteen-hundreds of pages of small type.
No doubt the Obama administration will extend this stance to FOIA requests on anything relating to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Wall Street, SEIU, ACORN, or any other crony whose activities cannot stand the light of exposure.
Don't expect a similar attitude regarding the Administration's "enemies list", though.
And Obama said during his campaign that he would have the most transparent administration in history...
