This article is trash.
Reporter does something that they were asked not to, it happened to involve technology, blogger misses the point and calls The Administration a bunch of Luddites.
- ck2 15y agoIt's not about technology, it's about transparency and the lack of it, to the point of hypocrisy, like when Obama removed bill reviews from the internet and accepted a "transparency award" in the whitewhouse in secret, banning any recording of the event, even though it's an event that should be publicly available. The crime here wasn't even that she was banned, it was threatening others with the same if they reported about what happened to her. However this is trivial to much more serious nonsense like meeting lobbyists across the street instead of at the whitehouse so they are off the recorded guestlist. Remember how lobbyists were going to be banned?

I guess I must have missed that bit after getting fed up with the 14 paragraphs before the article brought it up. I will maintain my point that the article is trash, but now its for so thoroughly burring the lead in addition to overall bad writing style.
