Freedom of Info about TV Shows

Freedom of Information has been used to acquire complaints (minus personal info) about television shows that were submitted to the Federal Communications Commission in the United States. Take a gander at a couple of the complaint files...

Complaint file for the Oprah Winfrey Show  (I've used foi to request the actual text of the original foi request. I'll add it when it's released)

Complaint file for The Simpsons  (I've used foi to request the actual text of the original foi request. I'll add it when it's released)

 

Freedom of information is a new library card.

Government and public organization are the new libraries.

Records in their custody are the new books.

Your right to access records in their custody is like your right to access a book in the library
