When Greg Palast, an investigator of corporate fraud and racketeering, turned his skills to journalism, he was quickly recognized as, ?The most important investigative reporter of our time? [Tribune Magazine] in Britain, where his first reports appeared on BBC television and in the Guardian newspapers.Author of the New York Times bestseller, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, Palast is best known in his native USA as the journalist who, for the Observer (UK), broke the story of how Jeb Bush purged thousands of Black Florida citizens from voter rolls before the 2000 election, thereby handing the White House to his brother George. His reports on the theft of election 2004, the spike of the FBI investigations of the bin Ladens before September 11, the secret State Department documents planning the seizure of Iraq?s oil fields have won him a record six ?Project Censored? for reporting the news American media doesn?t want you to hear. ?The top investigative journalist in the United States is persona non grata in his own country?s media.? [Asia Times.] He returned to America to report for Harper?s Magazine.
