Dismantling Freedom Of Information
Host Kevin Gosztola highlights the crisis that is growing as offices that are supposed to fulfill Freedom of Information Act requests are dismantled or significantly impaired. He features a few clips from a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on FOIA reform that was held on April 8. Headlines include Israeli military forces attacking a media tent in Gaza and the Homeland Security Department administering lie detector tests as part of a clampdown on alleged leaks.
