Francisco Silvestre: Any government, democratic or not, has it in their best interest to withhold information from the public or to release fake/manipulated information through the media, with the goal of better controlling or directing the population. Those in power directly benefit from a lack of honesty in their governments, and the bigger a governmental institution gets, the more interests it serves. The politicians goals become ensuring the permanence of this system and government instead of goals that would serve the people.
