Ryan Chittum of the Columbia Journalism Review reports that the New York Times is the latest media outlet to sue the federal government for being slow to respond to a Freedom of Information request for documents related to the Wall Street bailout.
“The Times accuses the government of violating FOIA by requiring an upfront agreement on fees and by not abiding by the time limits set under the Act.
“This is the latest lawsuit by the media to pierce the secrecy surrounding the bailouts. Bloomberg filed suit last fall to force the Fed to disclose what collateral its holding against its trillions of dollars in loans, and Fox Business News sued for information related to the bailouts of Citigroup, AIG and the Bank of New York Mellon.”
