@gorgo_1982 @Jason_Garcia Right, that hurts newspaper bottom lines but you can see the rationale. Hand-holding a friendly outlet and telling it what to FOIA to embarrass a political opponent... less of a compelling public interest there — PolitiTweet.org

@BlameBigGovt @redsteeze Yeah, this is why I say it's an interesting tactic, and not "ZOMG THIS IS THE END OF FREEDOM." That said, it's... unusual for a governor's office to write a government document request for a friendly outlet and the outlet to use it verbatim. — PolitiTweet.org
