You don't often see a journalist argue for more government secrecy. In fact, you never see this. This makes Matt Yglesias' piece for Vox more than an oddity.

Yglesias has dug himself into a hole with this article. He'll presumably keep his head down when politicians he doesn't care for start making noise about "too much transparency." This post shows he's not quite the journalist he believes he is and his ignorance of the reality of the FOIA process is on full display. In support of god-knows-what, Yglesias is calling for the most common method of government communication to become the government's most-used FOIA dodge. That's a dangerous proposal, especially when issued by a self-professed member of the Fourth Estate, whose job it is to help rein in the government and hold it accountable -- not give it more ideas on how to hide stuff from the people paying for it.
