Valin Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 WSJ L. GORDON CROVITZ 5/19/13 What to make of the political scandals that are dominating the headlines and forcing the Obama administration into Nixonian damage control? Technology is finally doing to big government what it has done to big business, big media and other institutions that once could operate with nearly full control over information. The government is losing the ability to manipulate information to avoid accountability. (Snip) Most of these abuses came to light only after the presidents left office. President Obama has to deal with the issue now because tea party and other groups used social media to share information about their experiences with the IRS. (Snip) Just as old media learned it is no longer the only voice heard in a new-media world, government spinners now must reckon that the truth will eventually come outsometimes because the government is pressured to disclose damning internal emails.
