WaPo, NYT Recruit Palinophobes for Oppo Research (Updated)
WaPo hopes to "extract new stories that will lead to further investigation"
*
Remember when the Associated press assigned eleven of its crack reporters to "fact check" Sarah Palin's first book Going Rogue? Democrat Party house organ The Washington Post has found a cheaper way to allocate resources in the corrupt media left's endless pursuit of digging for dirt on the first woman to be the vice presidential candidate of the Republican Party. It is recruiting Palin-hatin' Post readers to do it for free.
Ryan Kellett, who holds the title of "Interactivity Producer" at WaPo and has his byline under the bold head "Help investigate the Palin e-mails," makes the pitch:
Wouldn't it be interesting if some enterprising Paliniste volunteered to go undercover and submitted applications to play in the Post's pool of Palin plunderers? If you've always wanted to be a double agent, or if you would just like to bring a little bit of fairness and balance to WaPo'switch hunt fishing expedition, just follow the links.

Update: The NY Times is also recruiting would-be muckrakers who are heck-bent on sliming Sarah. Help 'em out, even if its not quite with the degree of bloodlust they are looking for .

It is recruiting Palin-hatin' Post readers to do it for free.
Ryan Kellett, who holds the title of "Interactivity Producer" at WaPo and has his byline under the bold head "Help investigate the Palin e-mails," makes the pitch:
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 diligent readers who will work alongside Post reporters to analyze, contextualize, and research the e-mails. Think of it as spending some time in our newsroom.How acute is the epidemic of Palin Derangement Syndrome among the Post partisans? We can practically see Kellett's words salivating on our computer monitor, so thrilled is he with the prospect of finding juicy tidbits in the governor's e-mails. We wonder if he also has a thrill running up his leg. Too bad he and his WaPo cohorts could not get as excited about digging into the obscured details of a half-term Senator's college records and the radical characters he chose to associate with back in the day, and then in the years thereafter. If they had bothered, the republic would likely not have traveled so many miles down the road to ruin.
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 e-mail threads. Notice the patterns. Identify recipients and senders. Connect specific e-mails to larger themes and events. We’ll give you a sense of what to look out for, but the hope is that your team can tackle the challenge together in a collaborative way that our journalists alone cannot. And in fact, we are selecting just 100 people because we want to make real use of your talents and trust you to use teamwork to your advantage.

The office of the Governor of Alaska has been told they must release the approximately 26,500 emails that originated from then Governor Palin's office during her tenure.
This will be the ultimate-too date-penance for the lamestream media who will be called from sitting in park fields waiting for her, on the off chance she shows up and talks to them, as they don't have her current tour schedule.
One almost, well almost that is, feels sorry for the poor hacks who will have to read through such titbits as "it is really cold in Anchorage today" or "Todd, please pick up some milk on the way home" as well as, to outsiders, totally indecipherable messages about local Alaskan politics which have absolutely no bearing on current matters.
However, sift they must in their endless quest to find something, anything, to potentially embarrass Palin-which they won't as whatever controversies they might dig up-should there be any-will be must ancient history.
Surely too the public has had enough of the Palin PDS muckraking efforts and will disregard any "scandals".This has been proven by the two latest anti-Palin books being complete flops no matter how hard the media tried to promote the "insiders tell-all".
Palin must be chortling as she contemplates the scribblers pouring over her every word in 26,500 emails-actually I can't think of a better penance.
UPDATE:
To add to the media's penance they are now complaining that Palin is forcing them to follow her bus (sic) which could "cause a reporter to have an accident."
