The best investigative journalism is no longer happening solely in the traditional newspaper industry. I bring you exhibit A, the new report from the Committee on Government Reform on the politicization of Social Security internal communications. The Congressman who heads this effort is Henry Waxman, who has worked tirelessly to expose abuses in contracting in Iraq and the prescription drug boondoggle.
Well, how did Truman become president? He made himself the voice of reason in defense contracting during World War II. Where’s the Democrat, heck, where is anyone willing to stand up for honest contracting during the War on Terror?
Investigations eventually happen during every era. The people finally get tired of the corruption and rebel through research. The press has never had a monopoly on investigative excellence.]]>
