Reporters show up at police departments and sheriff's offices all over the state to get reports and documents and then splash front page coverage all over the next week, incensed that some cost a quarter and others $3. Quite a conspiracy... Compare that manufactured, feigned outrage to the fact that they won't touch much more important and relevant stories that threaten their relationship to the status quo. This Hunley/FOI story is a perfect example, although the list goes on- the Clemson salary debacle was last month's.

This should be front page news - one of the most powerful men in South Carolina thumbs his nose at the FOIA and gets caught. Newspapers should be all over this - they need the FOIA if they expect to do their job well. Without a strong FOIA, it is mighty easy for a government to become corrupt.
