PA L AST P H OTO : GABRIEL OLSEN • R A L L PO RT R A I T: TED RALL “Greg Palast is one of those inconveniently stubborn journalists who gets his teeth into a story and shakes it bloody right there in the middle of the parlor, dreadfully inconveniencing the pampered swells of the elite political press. Palast has been on the voter-caging story ever since people like Pastor Whiting got screwed 18 years ago. Palast [has] dropped a bomb into the elections that has left credibility shrapnel all over the democratic process, if anyone cares to look for it.” —charles pierce, Esquire “Palast’s work is invaluable for our community.” —latosha brown, Black Votes Matter “The information is a hand grenade.” —john pilger “Palast, with equal parts humor and indignation, cleverly shows the pattern that has dominated American presidential elections since 2000. He connects dots to explain why this is happening, who is benefiting, how the dirty business is done.” —Alternet “The planet’s most tenacious investigative reporter.” —john nichols, The Nation “Greg Palast is my favorite investigative journalist with a hat on! Of course, he’s also my favorite investigative journalist period. Spewing truths that make the ruling elite cry.” —lee camp “No one has told our story as Greg Palast has.” —rev. jesse jackson “Funnier and better writing than Moore, more accessible than Chomsky, Palast has made a fine contribution to the honourable tradition of leftist belly- aching. And I mean that as a compliment.” —Sunday Business Post, Dublin praise for ted rall “If Doonesbury and Michael Moore are the cutting edge of American political comedy, Rall is its bludgeon.
