Today's New York Times reported on Wal-Mart's latest attempt to salvage its public image by courting right-wing bloggers.

We have included a PDF of some email exchanges from Marshall Manson of Wal-Mart's PR firm and Rob Port from the Say Anything blog. The email exchanges were made available from Rob Port in PDF form and are also available on the New York Times web site.

Here is one example from Marshall Manson:

Rob,

Quick question.

Would you, if the opportunity arose, like to see Wal-Mart from the inside? As in the corporate headquarters in Bentonville, AR?

Unfortunately, we don't have any funds for travel -- but I think I might be able to get you access to the largest company in the world. Tours, briefings, the works. Everything that they would do for a reporter from the New York Times.

So - if something like that came up - would you be willing to make a trek to Bentonville and participate? I'd make sure to be there and act as a tour guide.
