		Palast is content to continue his investigative reports into what he perceives as an American oligarchy - a nexus between politicians and corporations in which the line between the two is increasingly blurred - an endeavor which he pursues across the Atlantic in the British media.
		Palast is obviously dismayed by American media in the post-September 11 age, characterizing it as "gone to hell in a handbag".
		Palast has already written about the negative and one-sided Western media coverage of President Hugo Chavez, and has interviewed the politician regarding the coup attempt against him, which Palast believes was connected to Chavez's attempts to strengthen the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), of which Venezuela is a member.

		Just to warn you, Katherine Harris says that Greg Palast is 'twisted an maniacal,' and that's a quote --but she didn't say I was wrong.
