Right. And the funnest part? The AP and other ânewsâ organizations will use a law thatâs all about âsunshine in governmentâ and given âthe peopleâ access to public documents to demand they get these copies, will pay the exorbitant fees without question (thereby encouraging the practice) and will then take these public documents they obtain, ostensibly âfor the good of the public,â and keep them religiously secret, releasing only portions of them, selected quotes, carefully chosen sensational nuggets and snippets that support a manufactured narrative. They wonât just stick them all on the intertubez. Instead, they will treat them as proprietary. If thereâs no undercurrent of hypocrisy involved there, then Iâm a Smurf.

When did Missouri become a third-world shithole? This sounds more like what Iâd expect from authorities in a Central American country. Who is in charge of firing every one of these corrupt bastards?
