Greg Palast: A Shining Example of True Journalism.
He uncovered hard evidence that Jeb, Katherine Harris, and Clay Roberts purged 90,000+ mostly black Democratic Florida "felons" in 2000 - the vast majority of them either innocent or entitled to their voting rights after serving their sentences.

He investigated the Exxon-Valdez spill, and found it could have been avoided.

He's run sting operations to get the truth, and is currently detailing how Kerry won and then lost the 2004 election.

Do you know Greg Palast's work? If not, take a look. He's the real deal, and an inspiration to all dedicated truth-seekers out there.

Give it up for Greg!

4. Palast is an amazing and courageous investigative journalist.
It's a damned shame more journalists fail to have the integrity, ethics, courage and principles that Palast demonstrates.

His book, "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy" is a treasure among my collection!!!

7. He sure does put his fellow American journalists to shame.
I remember his story about Dan Rather saying that he's not able to say what he wants to say here. Quite a commentary on this country.

8. What, no love for Greg?
Maybe I should have called the thread "Sexy Nurse Decapitates Zombie".

He has guts which is something most journalists now forgot to get when they were standing in the hair spray line.

12. I really love his style, too.
Not only does he get the goods, he delivers them so well.

"Lynching by laptop"... equating McDonald's burgers to "clown meat" - he's a brilliant writer.

And, unlike most so-called "journalists" here in the U.S., he doesn't just make shit up.
