Watchdog group: Corruption worsens under populist leaders

The media didn't care about transparency for the last eight years, why should they care now. The administration spewed their BULLSHIT and the media lap dogs ate it up. When necessary they circled the wagons and made excuses. They were cheerleaders. Now they want to be journalists again, and they fear being muzzled. Well gang, having your BULLSHIT exposed isn't being muzzled, It's just someone with the balls to call you what you really are, partisan hacks pushing your political agenda.
 
Ok, I'll agree on that, but let's be fair here, Freddie - it's rather ingenuous to come out for transparency now that you don't like the President, yet remain quiet for the last 8 years of total war on transparency. Why is it more important now?
Admittedly, the Obama administration was not as transparent as it could have been, but this one promises to do worse. So if you found the last one unsettling, then this one should be all the more troubling. Still can't believe he issued gag orders on federal employees.

Our previous (Conservative) prime minister did the same, and I couldn't be happier now than he's a private citizen again.
