The bad news is, the Palast team has won its tenth-in-a-row “Project Censored” prize. For another story that Big Media won’t dare touch.
The good news is: we’re broke.
Last month, for the first time in two years, we came to you begging for cash so we could keep reporting the uncomfortable truth. Your response was astonishing. We’re out of debt – back to zero.
(Our crawl out of the red was also helped by The Nation Magazine’s Institute – which awarded our team the $25,000 Puffin Fellowship for investigative reporting.)
I’m back with one last (I promise) desperate plea for help. Now that we’ve made it out of debt, the Palast Investigative Fund needs your help to pay THIS month’s bills.
Please, right now, make a tax-deductible donation to the Investigative Fund and I’ll send you a personalized, signed copy of the book, ‘Project Censored 2008’ with my expose on Mr. Giuliani’s friend – the hedge fund vulture who is swiping the debt relief meant for Africa.
Make your donation at least $125 and we’ll throw in Censored 2007 which includes our exposes on Iraq and Oil, “Bush Didn’t Bungle Iraq, You Fools!” and, the skinny on
elections theft – co-written with the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
We have had to say good-bye to our two top investigators, Leni and Matt. Damn, we miss them! Our struggle now is to pay their successor, Kat, who is demanding to eat at least once a day.
And for those who really believe we’ve just GOT to get the word out: we are LOOKING FOR A COUPLE OF FILM PRODUCERS (twelve to be exact), so we can quickly release the broadcasts, “Greg Palast Investigates” Vol. 1 (“Election Theft for Dummies”) and Vol. 2 (“The Chavez Tapes”) based on our award-winning reports for BBC Television.
Become a mini-mogul by donating at least $1,000 to our fund (tax-deductible), and you’ll get on-screen executive producer credit and DVD copies of the films to impress (and depress) your friends and enemies.
No joke. We’re broke. But the work continues even if our pockets are bare. Want to support Raw Journalism, the real stuff? Here it is: just a $100 donation and I’ll send you a autographed copy Project Censored 2008, or Bush Family Fortunes (the BBC film on DVD), or LIVE from the Armed Madhouse, or the book that took 50,000 volts from a taser and keeps on ticking: Armed Madhouse – Sordid Secrets and Strange Tales of a White House Gone Wild.
And true, deep appreciation from myself and the investigative team for your generosity which has kept us alive and proudly censored for nearly a decade.
Yours,
Greg
