Right, we live in a capitalist society, so unlike say a communist nation we don't need to have an "agency of government transparency" or whatever that has the sole responsibility (and the only entity allowed to) of telling the people what the government is up to, we have companies that find a way to generate a profit off this service. There are plenty other public goods entities that are also profitable - hospitals, for example, have to generate profit (though I disagree that this should be necessary). Energy companies. Airline companies. Etc. In any case, CNN was there to ask questions on my behalf. I'm glad, too, because I like government transparency, and I for one don't trust any government to self-report without bias. Hence, auditors.
