Join us for a lunch-time discussion with the
muckraking reporter Greg Palast. He has uncovered scandal, fraud, corruption, and lies in the highest seats of power—from the White House to corporate America. Known in Britain as "the greatest investigative reporter of our time" (Tribune magazine), Palast has broken some of the biggest stories of the past decade, including:
- How Bush killed the FBI's investigation of the
financing of terrorist organizations by Saudi Arabia
- How the Bush family stole the election in Florida
- How Enron cheated, lied, and swindled its way into an energy monopoly
Palast is an award-winning reporter for BBC
Television’s Newsnight and The Observer of London, his extraordinary reports have been front page news in Europe, yet blocked out of America’s mainstream media. A former World Bank Chief Economist told Palast that the bank, "condemned people to death." A gold mining company sued him for his story about their alleged connections to a homicidal regime in Africa. For these reasons and more, Guerrilla News Network, named Palast 2002 "Reporter of the Year."
This is a great opportunity to ask Greg questions in an intimate setting, pick up a copy of "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy" and to support your local Independent Media Center. Sponsored by New college Media Studies MA Program.
