blogger myths

Special Request to Members of the Press: 

The media is biased against our candidate, Lee Whitnum. Case in point:  In 2010 Ms. Whitnum submitted a press release about Richard Blumenthal's failure to regulate the hedge fund industry as he had promised.  It also pointed out he failed to use the Martin Act which would have prevented the fiasco at AIG FP, in Wilton, CT. AIG FP was dubbed the greatest "villain" in this economic downturn by President Obama. Also AIG FP executives received bonuses, something Blumenthal said he would prevent.  Ms. Whitnum, a 2010 senate candidate did extensive research for her press release.  Not one media source covered the story. There was a spell-check error and that was what a reporter chose to write about. Hartford Courant was misspelled Hartford Current. A spell-check error versus the economic downturn of the entire world? It was obvious that everything she did or said was twisted to make her appear in the most unfavorable light.

The attitude trickles down from the top. Party chair, Nancy Dinardo operates in an extremely biased manner; never once did she attempt to rein in the Democratic bloggers and, unfortunately, many lies still exist. Our candidate is a well-read, articulate, intelligent woman but you’d never know it based on the Internet postings by people she has never met. Let's all try for a little bit of respect this time around.

Nov. 6 letter from John M. to Greewnich Time regarding their biased columnist Alma Rutger

Lee Whitnum speech at the Greenwich Democratic Picnic Sept. 2011
Here's the speech that apparently caused so much controversy. As for Drew Marzullo's comment that he was nauseated - hey, Drew, stay local pal - foreign policy obviously sickens you.

Letter Sept. 27, 2011 in the Greenwich Time.  We are STILL waiting for an apology from Rabbi Mitchel Hurvitz . . . and Rabbi Hitchel Hurvitz is a man of God.

Letter sent to Maggie Caldwell regarding Ken Borsuk at Greenwich Post 


 Sept. 6, 2011 Letter from John Sobiranski to the biased Greenwich Times. 

Additionally, correcting the misinformation:

• In 2003 - seven years ago - Ms. Whitnum did post a G-rated scrapbook webpage for her friends. She was quite surprised that it attracted so much attention - 600,000 hits.

  "Who knew a few G-rated mementos posted in the middle of the night for friends would explode the way it did - I do apologize."

• Her novel Hedge Fund Mistress is a PG-rated novel about three women and two hedge fund managers during the hedge fund heyday in Greenwich CT. It is available at HedgeFundMistress.com and Amazon.com.

• Lee is not anti-Semitic and has never said anything anti-Semitic. She is, however, anti-AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee). She believes the pro-Israel lobby is too powerful and that lobby reform is needed.

• It is a typical trick to call into question someone's mental health in order to discredit the message.

• Despite what the Governor has stated (a man Lee has never met), Lee is not anti-Semitic, just anti-AIPAC - there is a difference.
