Need to know

I log this for a few reasons.

Jeremy Paxman, the BBC, Impartiality, and Freedom of Information

The workings, or not, of the FOI act seem convoluted at best.

Though pertinent in many ways to Junkk Male RE:view this is more about how our news gets served up. I am always intrigued as to who constitutes an 'expert', and what goes into getting the best chance of an objective opinion from any source.

And finally, the curse of the over-common moniker strikes again. Yet another namesake!

Whatever else, in this information rich, Internet age, I would hazard that clamming up, especially on issues where you are required to be open, is not the smartest play. Mind you, if you do have something to hide you are screwed both ways. Best not to do things using public money, in the public's 'best interests', if you don't think the public might react well to hearing about it.
