Govern the public interest over commerce's

One of the biggest faults in our political system is the government representation of commerce.  As the Republicans get more and more brazen in collaboration with business, the public life of the people is more and more thwarted.

Calling it right wing politics doesn't justify the neglect and abuse of our only citizens, the people.  The Republican Party, and some of the Democrats, have sold their souls to big business, a special interest that has no interest in public issues.

Most Democrats are continually fighting capitalism's hold on legislation.  Socialism pushes it back, but it is its own special interest of the left.  Until our elections bring into office  legislators representing just the people, we will lose integrity in our nation's business.

Releasing controversial news

Sometimes a legislator or agency is called to release information to the public.  If the info is controversial, a favorite tactic is to unload it during a slow news cycle, like the night before a holiday.

In other words, let "Joe" fall asleep on Friday night, then release the documents.  Then, perhaps, it is reported on C-Span only during that weekend.

So paradoxically, if the source considers the document controversial, releasing it after-hours only confirms to everybody the critical nature of that news.

Giving the info during business hours, up front, will otherwise laud you as a good transparent source for the public's interest.
