Greg Palast fights the good fight. He will find and report the truth at any cost to himself. His latest book is Armed Madhouse which details his investigations into everything our government has pulled on our country and the world in the past few years.
ever since hunter thompson decided to call it quits, this guy's been my hero. as i'm still living in pa for another month, my wife went to the book tour in columbus and got a copy of armed madhouse signed for me.
if you haven't ever, you should check out the podcast, this is hell chuck mertz is an amazing radio host. mr. palast has done some very good interviews on that program.
I second the above comments: an old friend turned me on to Palast years ago, and while his approach makes most people take him less than seriously, I think that he addressed the fact in this interview that that's almost a requirement for him to do the kind of reporting he does.
While I do not always agree with his take on things and his methods do give me pause, his prescience / foreknowledge of the hidden undercurrents behind and beneath the various sociopolitical streams that shape our world is nothing short of incredible, and his is a very valuable voice in the information wilderness that I hope is never silenced.
I'm also a great Palast fan but the potty mouth stuff doesn't win hearts and minds either. I can call Cheney a fuckwad but a journalist needs to put a cap on that kinda language.
