All this stems from a FOIA request made over 2 and a half years ago by a television and newspaper journalist.

The reason why a freedom of information request was made for these emails was the fact when she was chosen as a vice presidential nominee, she was a virtually unknown character. Two and a half years later the request was finally honored but certain caveats were made at first which said they had to be reviewed physically in Alaska.
Things got sorted out until the emails could be reviewed anywhere but not in a digital form but instead on paper only!?

So the newspapers that decided to review them needed extra readers to go through them.

This is all moot since Palin had 2 other private and seperate email accounts (one of which was hacked) which are not included in the emails provided by the FOIA emails pertaining primarilu to state government business.

If journalism is guilty of anything it is getting old news 2 and a half years too late. You might choose to refeudiate these facts and call all lame stream media journalists swarmy because free speech is protected. Be it lies, rumor, informed or ignorant speech, its thankfully all protected by the Constitution.+
