Petrelis' claim that no other media organization has requested Bush's files was substantiated by the FBI FOIA office in October 2004, when RAW STORY first ran a piece on Petrelis' effort. Debbie Beatty, who works in the Historical and Executive Review Unit at the FBI and spoke for the FOIA office, stated that to her knowledge, no other media organization has requested Bush’s file.
“How it could it be that during the most important election of the past half century, the supposed liberal media could devote resources, ink and airtime to the FBI files of only one of the two major contenders for the White House, and totally ignore what the agency may have on the other candidate?” he penned.
“To their shame, no mainstream news outlet, liberal or conservative, bothered to investigate what the FBI has in its archives on Bush or efforts to obtain his file,” he added.
