RFK Jr. Offered Journalist $12K To Clean Up His Cousin's Reputation

Journo Ken Silverstein writes in the New York Observer that he just turned down a $12,500-a-month gig to help Kennedy “whitewash” Skakel’s past by doing “research for a book [Kennedy Jr. is] writing to clear [Skakel] of the 1975 murder of his then-girlfriend [Moxley].”
Silverstein writes, “I really could use the money at the moment, but there’s just one problem: Skakel is obviously guilty. I turned the offer down because some people will do anything for money, but I won’t.”
Kennedy’s offer, according to an Observer opinion piece by Silverstein posted on Wednesday, was made through “David Talbot, founder of Website Salon (who last year offered me a book contract).” But Silverstein now says, “I believe that’s the last I’ll hear from Mr. Talbot about possible future book deals.”
