Help Investigate the Palin Emails (Washington Post Recruits Palin-haters)
The Washington Post ^ | Thursday, June 9, 2011 | Ryan Kellett

Posted on 06/09/2011 10:01:42 AM PDT by kristinn

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.

SNIP

Application form.

Why would they spend so much time, energy, resources, and capital going through her e-mails? She's a civilian, not on the government payroll, and has not announced her candidatecy for any public office.

Oh wait... silly me.

Frankly this lends a lot of credence to the suspicion that it was the Washington Post ~ manifest in news or editorial personnel ~ that burned down Sarah’s former church in Wasilla for the purpose of murdering her, her children, or their friends, believing they were present in the building.

The American commie/socialist/lib MSM make the old Soviet Union’s mouthpiece Pravda resemble a kindergarten class. Going through e-mails to get some dirt on Palin while they did nothing to find out the background of Obama. We knew all about Bush’s days at Yale, yet nothing on Obama’s college days or thesis writings.

The greater number of the volunteers will be potheads and near crazed Leftwingtard apparatchiks.

If the Post imagines they can get work out of those people they deserve to disappear as a newspaper.

They'll probably be overjoyed to find literate and articulate volunteers like MOST Freepers would be.

Right on! And they hate that too!The more they hate the more we love.

Where are barry's records when he was a senator. The WP is not subtle showing their commie agenda.

Sarah, a repeat of RR, bringing down the communist.

Sarah commented that she wasn't going to release a schedule of stops on her bus tour, that the media would have to do their jobs.

It appears it's even worse than she says.

Isn’t the lefty WaPo at least going to offer collective bargaining rights to these poor drones? Haven’t they learned from the HuffPo-AOL disaster?

I signed up, posing as a ‘concerned’ citizen looking for fraud and desception.

Hope they don’t compare their applicants to SarahPAC contributors or I’m toast.

I think thousands of us should apply and then when our REPORT IS DUE say nothing to see here move along and that they should investigate PROJECT GUNRUNNER and OBAMA’s JUSTICE DEPT.

Haven’t they learned from DanRatherGate? This is inciting some DailyKaos blogger to make crap up. I wonder if the Compost got their orders directly from the new Obama team set up to dismantle all news articles that dare say anything bad about TheWon?

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

Did you have something in mind?

I’m so glad Wapo is spending their time on important stuff like this and not trivialities like Operation Gunwalker.
