Welcome to My World, Old Media

Both CBS News and the Washington Times have articles complaining about FOIA requests and the lack of access granted by various agencies.  I can't argue with the fact that agencies mishandled these requests.  It would, however, be nice to see the old media using the FOIA more often and reporting on these things on a much more frequent basis.  For instance, the only way the State Department, which is woefully slow in responding to FOIA requests is going to fix this problem is by having the spotlight put on them by a media company that has thousands of readers on a constant basis.  And finally, while I know it makes good copy, President Obama actually doesn't process FOIA requests nor does he supervise the FOIA process.  He set the standard, one that his employees, both political and career are not, in many cases, living up to.
