I knew the Bush Administration was evil, but I didn't think it would go this far. Headline from Reuters: U.S. Deletes, Alters Gender Issue Web Data -Report.
A council report said the missing information fell into four categories: women's health; their economic status; objective scientific data; and information aimed at protecting women and girls and helping them advance.
The deletions and alterations appear to hew to a political agenda, rather than providing the nonpartisan, unbiased data that has been the tradition of U.S. government reports, the council said.
Any woman who votes for Bush is insane. Why would you vote for a man who wants to take away your right to vote, to earn a fair wage, and to protect your health and safety?
Also, the implications for the credibility of government information are critical. Librarians rely on government agencies to provide authoritative, unbiased, thorough, reliable information. If that information is subject to partisan censors, how can we trust it?
But I'm probably just a worry-wart. The government would never lie to us, right?
