The Patriot Post® · Reporters on Obama Transparency

According to a new Politico survey of 61 members of the presidential press corps, reporters don’t think much of White House claims of being the “most transparent administration in history.” In fact, just 5% think the Obama administration is more forthcoming with information than the Bush administration. On the other hand, 41% thought George W. Bush was more transparent. Some 42% said the Obama White House is the “most secretive” they have ever covered, while half say an administration official has lied to them. And these are the president’s allies.
