I donโ€™t have time to do requests through the freedom of information act and potentially have to fight some bureaucrat because Iโ€™m not a journalist

Why do you hold such strong opinions about something about which you are not well-informed?

edit: also, we need more citizen journalist to help fill the void as unfortunately local newspapers are disappearing
