Bush Admin email in data dump mentions Greg Palast and they're glad media won't pay attention to him

From: Tim Griffin
To: Goodling, Monica

That guy (Greg Palast) is a British reporter who accepted some false allegations and made a story up. That's why no other national press picked it up in 2004. Now Palast (who wrote about it the first time in 2004) has wrinen about it again. It is all about an
election year.

I don't recall that about Palast, but I could be wrong.

3. Griffin's deluding himself.

He knows what he did.

4. Many Republicans think that anyone who says something bad about dur fuhrer "made it up". (nt)

6. A lot of people on the right are going to be hard at work rewriting the history of this

administration. You think they got St Ronnie sanctified just wait until they get done with Bush. They will probably have a picture of him in a suit of armor like that one of hitler.

5. Holy shit ck4829, you just found evidence that proved that caging list was fucking real!!!!!!!!!!

7. He's not a British reporter, either

He's an American journalist who works for the BBC, and has done for several years. And the BBC doesn't hire just anyone to work for their news service, unlike the US corporate media.

8. When Greg reported that the WH knew the levies were breeched

and issued no warning to NOLA, HomeLand Security arrested him. :shrug:

[blm]

9. The White House KNOWS Palast is a real journalist - and real journalists CAN'T get airtime

from the corporate broadcast news media.

The GOPs have set up only RW operatives on the network news who get credited as 'investigative journalists' these days.
