The value of crowd sourcing would be to shine light on hidden information.
Campaign finance filings is a (the?) rare example of government information that, thanks to legislation, is currently brilliantly illuminated.
In this case the good fight was won.
Now all that remains in this one area is -- as Brian and Andrea noted in so many words during this segment -- is the application by PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTS and other analysts to wrangle, no, just read, what is already right in front of them.
Synthesize, analyze, inform.
I can't imagine how good hearted citizens, however curious and smart, can replace that one noble occupation not of reporting but of the journalism itself.
