[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Worked at a federal agency until a month ago. I'd say 80% of the FOIA request we received were from private citizens and NGOs with a decisively right wing viewpoint.[/quote] The whole point is to keep staff and agency dollars tied up with garbage FOIA requests. Then once the agency is backlogged, they sue. And then they claim the agency isn't completing its mission and should be gutted. It's deliberate destruction of government and wasting of money just so they can say "the government wastes money and doesn't complete its mission!" They are total f#cking nihilists.[/quote] I've worked on thousands of FOIA requests. The majority are from reporters and environmental NGOs and non profits. Maybe other agencies have more conservative leaning requesters, but the two agencies I've worked at haven't. [/quote]
