Reviews
""The Best Democracy Money Can Buy is a searing indictment of a rigged electoral system where hundreds of thousands of people of color are routinely denied the right to vote. Palast, one our great investigative reporters, exposes one of the many mechanisms the corporate state uses to keep us enslaved. If you are not outraged by what Palast has uncovered you have no heart."" —Chris Hedges ""There's a specific kind of outrage that I think only the work of Greg Palast can evoke. It is the outrage when we realize our democracy is being taken away from us. And that there isn't anyone in the mainstream media aside from Greg Palast reporting on this with any reliability or accuracy or passion or intelligence—and that is itself a crime."" —Josh Fox, writer and director of Gasland
