Transparency, Accidentally

The argument given in favor of funding a Public Affairs Officer at Juvenile Court:

...it's important for the court to have some way to communicate with the media...

Ludicrous, given that the court was communicating with the media in giving that reason. Obsolete, given the ubiquitous technological possibilities to communicate with as many people as you want and who want to listen.

Memphis doesn't need any more gatekeepers. Memphis doesn't need gatekeepers anymore. Throw the gates open!

(bonus example: important person communicating without aid of Public Affairs Officer.)
