An interesting question. I wonder if that doesn't depend upon the type of government. Tyrannies hate their subjects to have access to the truth so I would guess they do everything they can to limit its population access to it.
And, are so-called Democratic governments any different? Entrenched bureaucrats wish to remain anonymous with their rules and regulations unquestioned. So, how do the elected politicians feel about the subject? Do they disapprove of having their own activities questioned? And, how do they deal with it?
