Hmmm. I suppose, but I think it's mainly limited to this administration. BushCo is good at this.
Really? I think they're bad at it. They're entirely too transparent which makes people care and that's bad for the rulers. You're supposed to make people not care.
EDIT: I'm too serious tonight. Going to bed now. Goodnight!
Good night!
Although, I think these things are more transparent than we want them to be. If things are a muddled mess, we think everyone is really good at covering up what is really happening, but if it is actually transparent, then we think the people are just bad at covering it up.
I vote that it doesn't actually happen all of the time, but it does happen sometimes.
