Obama administration info to be "crowdsourced"
That's a fancy way of saying that there will be a website where everyone can deposit whatever they happen to know about Obean's administration, and everyone can go there and check it out.
Crossroads GPS, the cash-rich Republican outside group planning to spend $120 million on the 2012 election in conjunction with its sister organization American Crossroads, announced Wednesday the launch of a website called Icky Accountability www.Wikicountability.org "designed to crowd-source information gleaned from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and other public documents by organizations, individuals and journalists."
Looks like Big Sis will have to screen the FOIA acts even more carefully than she has been doing from now on.
The site is meant to "facilitate efficient sharing of public information about the Obama Administration" and highlight FOIA requests that have gone unfulfilled. It has been set up to look like Wikipedia.
Wikipedia won't allow anything to stick that isn't PC. These folks won't have that problem.
