L.A. Times to post database of Palin emails

As Washington bureau reporter Matea Gold reported, the state of Alaska is scheduled to release more than 24,000 pages of Sarah Palin's emails Friday from her time as governor.

The Times' Data Desk has created a database, Sarah Palin's emails: The Alaska Archive, where readers will be able to view and search through the documents. (Alaska is releasing the emails in print form, so The Times will scan each of the documents and post them.) 

The emails will span the beginning of Palin's term, in December 2006, through Sept. 30, 2008, which is when media outlets requested them. It has taken since that time to fulfill the records request.

The Times and the Tribune Washington Bureau submitted a request this spring for the rest of Palin's emails from her term as governor, but Alaska has not said when it would release correspondence from after Sept. 30, 2008.

Is Palin running for any office?

Oh that's right, I forgot, liberals always tell us who they fear...

That's really great! I thought the investigative wing of the MSM disbanded when Barack Hussein was elected. We know NOTHING about his past and you guys could care less but you want to take the time going through Sarah's past emails to find dirt on her. You should be ashamed of what you are doing. The obvious perception is you are biased against Sarah and for "the one", the manchurian candidate, with no valid long form birth certificate, a CT social security number, and no info on his university writings or grades. By the way, in both Occidental and Harvard, no one remembers him. Isn't that interesting. But I know you have more important things to do, like going through a very formidible challenger's emails to try and destroy her. You will be the ultimate loser in this. We all will be because you have allowed your prejudices to influence your reporting. By the way, where is LA? Is that LOWER ALABAMA?

quitter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When is the Times going to post the data base of Obama's college transcripts and his college financial records?

[Mike]

Does anyone else see the publication of emails from a citizen out of public office for two years disgusting. I do.

Is the LA Times part of the Obama 2012 reelection campaign's opposition research team.

Meantime, the LA Times steadfastly refuses to release the videotape it acknowledges having in its possession of Obama's speech at the Rashid Khalidi dinner.

First comment? Doesn't anyone read this paper?

[Ayden]

Thank you so much for doing this. We need to uncover the trail of corruption that Sarah Palin has left behind in Alaska after her failed attempt at governing.

[Molon Labe]

Almost 3 hours and not a single comment you're willing to keep? Guess we know what that means. Liberal FAIL.

Why, again, are the media so hot to get all of Mrs. Palin's emails? Why are several major media outlets making available all of Mrs. Palin's emails and asking for the public's help going through them? We have a President that has not released all of his records pertaining to education, his work in the State and US Senate, his original birth certificate, and so many other things. We have an adminitration that is wrecking whats left of our Constitution and the media is hot for Mrs. Palin's emails. Why? Heck, this President insisted on keeping his blackberry thereby circumventing the fact that all coorespondence of our elected officials be recorded and saved. The media didn't utter a peep. I guess they were too busy chasing the former Governor of Alaska around wanting to peep into her emails. Peeping fools. Somehow, the left always finds a way to tell us straight out who they fear the most. If she were so stupid and no threat to their self-proclaimed reign, why do they show us over and over again that they actually fear her the most. "Let them hate, so long as they fear."

Obama has been in office for two and a half years now, and this same press
still cannot find:

any of his childhood friends or neighbors
or his baptism records
or his adoption records
or his Punahou school records
or his Occidental College records
or locate any of Mr. Obama's college papers or grades
or his SAT or LSAT grades
or how he paid for a Harvard education
or his Harvard Law Review articles
or which country issued his visa to travel to Pakistan in the 1980's
or why he has multiple invalid social security numbers
or why the ss number he is currently using is an old number from a state he had never visited or had a residence
or his Selective Service status
or his medical records
or his files from his years as an Illinois State Senator
or his Illinois state bar association records

they just can't seem to find them.

[MissButterfly]

The LA Times, the NY Times and the WaPo have taken their left wing political advocacy to heretofore unknown skanky levels.

The worm will turn!

[RSweeney]

You liberals are really terrified of her, aren't you?

Booga Booga.
Sarah's coming to get you and your little dog too.

The Los Angeles Times along with its sister newspapers; the Washington Post and the New York Times have now fallen into the category of Muckrakers. No wonder the Los Angeles Times is ending on the ash heap of irrelevancy.
