Help Investigate the Palin Emails (Washington Post Recruits Palin-haters)

More than 24,000 e-mail messages sent to and from Sarah Palin during her tenure as Alaska's governor will be released Friday. Join The Post in digging through them. We are looking for 100 organized and dilligent readers who will work alongside Post reporters to analyze, contextualize, and research the emails. Think of it as spending some time in our newsroom.

Our hope is that working together, we can efficiently find interesting information and extract new stories that will lead to further investigation. We don’t know what we’ll find, but we want you to be ready and open for the challenge.

You will communicate with us virtually and work in small teams to make light work of reviewing the email threads. Notice the patterns. Identify recipients and senders. Connect specific emails to larger themes and events.

Gee. And I thought the State-Run Media looked down upon “citizen journalism.”

[Invincibly Ignorant]

They just don’t get it. The more they hate the more we love. :-)

It’s absolutely hilarious that they are spending so much time, on someone who is stupid, unimportant, ignorant, racist and could NEVER win against Obama.....should she even run, of course.

Go Sarah! I love how she’s keeping them all in a dither. Keep on keeping them in the dark. LOL ;p

Sarah really has the effete cocktail set scared.

[dirtboy]

Too bad they don’t put this kind of effort into tracking down Obama’s missing history.

[Atlas Sneezed]

The funny thing is that the emails are/will be public, and the universe will do freely what the Post is trying to control. And it will do it faster and more effectively.

What creeps me out is that they don't even try to pretend anymore.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Why don’t they stfu and dig through Obama’s actions and words like they did the other day when they exposed Obama clash for clunkers con job?

[Sir Napsalot]

Anything ‘explosive’ should have been uncovered. It is not exactly that she is totally unknown, you know.

What is the point of this stunt then? It is an open invite for people to make sh!t up .....

All the negatives and untruths will be blaring headlines story for days, then correction or retracting story will either be too late or non-existing. Then so-called ‘undecided’ can use the untruth as an excuse, the media had been successful in destroying Palin for years.

[blues-train]

Imagine the lib outburst if “Fox News recruiting 100 organized individuals to comb through Rahm Emmanuel's Email for items of importance”.
The hypocrisy continues!

[Interesting Times]

Remember when the Post recruited "citizen journalists" to help look through the John Kerry / VVAW FBI files?

Me neither.

[JaguarXKE]

As if I needed another reason to hate and despise liberals and the media (redundant, I know). What a bunch of miserable ankle biters! Keep it up you miserable pieces of human debris!

[Interesting Times]

Maybe you should sign up and post your communications with the Post apparatchiks.

[Tzimisce]

You can hire a bunch of guys ACORN let go after downsizing....

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

This is not a joke?

[Minus_The_Bear]

Wouldn't it be a shame if a whole lot of people signed up at the Washington Post and jumbled up their research?

This reminds me of the AP assigning 11 of their crack reporters to quickly thumb through ‘Going Rouge’ to try and find something with which to slam Sarah Palin. Meanwhile, Barry continues to get an MSM pass.

[Windflier]

I can think of several Freepers who would be thrilled to help out with this effort.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

The Compost needs shut down and be investigated immediately for this.
