MuckRock Launches March Madness -- For FOIA (muckrock.com)
v3rgEz writes: Looking for a new office pool to get in on, but can't tell a layup from a low post? MuckRock has launched a FOIA bracket that pits 64 agencies against each other in a single-elimination tournament of transparency. The Freedom of Information website is working to get processing manuals for each of the agencies in the tournament, and invites you to pick winners across four divisions, with winners receiving free requests, MuckRock swag, and, of course, bragging rights among transparency aficionados.
When 9/11 was going on, Slashdot focused on posting about those attacks. It was a really valuable way to get news while most of the major sites were inundated with traffic. Slashdot posted quickly about the Paris attacks. While major news sites are much more equipped to handle the traffic than they were in 2001, it's still a really good way to get updates from people in a place that's under attack. Brussels is under attack this morning -- probably two suicide bombers at their airport, at least one more attack at a Metro station. There's a story submitted about it in the Firehose, and for good reason. Couldn't this story be delayed a bit to post about the Brussels attacks? WTF editors?
I hope there are no more attacks in Brussels, no more injuries, and no more loss of life. Let's hope it's over and that the news isn't as bad as some of the media reports are saying.
...I still have no idea what the bleep this is about. Am I the only one that can't make heads or tails of FOIA, brackets, layup and low post?

I didn't understand any of that!
With My BIPOLAR'D-mess Anyone else read it somewhat similar like this?
Softrock Launches March Madness -- for FOIA ; where softrock == the SDR @ "5-"
Then as soon as your mind figures out there's no new radio your noticing it doesn't make sense for Softrock to be helping obtain FOIA, but then your mind wanders yet again and you think about how bad the people who claim to be in charge of things are actually egotistical treasonous murdering traitors at this point in history. As they leave the borders wide open, with hell of invaders, and then the false flags+patsy operations tick away, followed by the solutions part of these plans; as the dangerous cult's gladio B, and other viral variants go on. I wonder if soon everyone will be passing along the CBDs' for health or 30 round clips for homeland security against the treason. IT seems it is a race for common sense. The cure for cancer, and the cure for heart attack is NUTRITION and less stress, not CUTTIN, POISON, SHOCKING, NUKING. There doesn't need to be ANYMORE DONATIONS for a cancer cure, IT'S HERE. it's called stop puttin poison in your mouth.
Thought so.
back to the Sleeple People, stacking those FIATs
Individually, all of those words make sense. But strung together, huh?
hold on, there's a van outside
Because a ridiculously low percentage of FOIA requests made during the current administration turned up anything.
The whole concept is ridiculous. "We demand to see the documents on *insert controversy here*" "There are no documents." "Oh, okay, thanks."
How hard is it for the government to say, "We can't find anything."? What are you going to do? Say they are lying? Prove it.
