Do enemies of transparency control the House?

THE House of Representatives conducted an online survey about whether the Freedom of Information bill (which really seems to be ready for passage by the majority) should include a provision requiring media (newspapers as well as broadcast stations) to “give” people aggrieved by a report or any article the “right of reply or the ROR.”

As of yesterday, Wednesday, October 1, 2014, the survey shows that a large majority of the congressmen and women are against messing up with the FOI bill that is ready to be passed overwhelmingly. No less than 71.18 % of the members are against putting the ROR provision and only 27.07 % are in favor.
