My Bias is Showing...Again


Here in Putnam County, some of us cheer for Marshall. Others root for WVU. Closer to home, we love Buffalo, Hurricane, Poca, or Winfield.
Halburn cheers for whoever Raymond Peak, Scott Edwards, the Hurricane City Council, Mike Hall, Karen Facemyer, Steve and Troy Andes, Raymond “Joe” Haynes and Patti Schoen are against. He opposes everything that they support.
Saturday, it didn't matter. He wore his favorite colors (yellow) and partied the day away at the 3rd Putnam County Tailgate Party.
As loyal readers know, Halburn has it in for WV Delegate Patti Schoen.

She wouldn't allow him to BULLY her into introducing a ridiculous statewide anti-noise law. She saw his demands as the rantings of a MADMAN that they were.
So he now goes out of his way to report any negative items about her and put her in a bad light.

Due to his hatred of Schoen, he deliberately MISREPRESENTED as fact that Debra Girimont, her opponent for the West Virginia House of Delegates 14th District Republican nomination, was a SPONSOR of the Putnam County Tailgate Party. The enemy of his enemy is his friend.

Girimont non-sponsor
A source has disclosed to PutnamLies.com that Girimont WAS NOT a sponsor but merely a PARTICIPANT. She had a tailgate set up just like the other participants. She did NOT sponsor anything except herself!!!

We call on Ms. Girimont to contact PutnumLive about this misstatement and force him to run a correction! Silence is acceptance!

DAY 8 UPDATE: After eight long days, a slight correction has been made. Ms. Girimont is no longer listed as a sponsor but as a "participating vendor" with no mention made of the correction.
Why is Ms. Girimont being singled out as a participant if she was not a sponsor?
All other participants are lumped into "a host of others."
PutnamLies.com is proud to have forced a unethical publisher into somewhat correcting the record.

Once again, here is another example where, being the SLIMY bucket of shit that he is, he has a personal interest in the story and he fails to disclose it because he has an axe to grind!!
Journalistic ETHICS require that he disclose any conflicts of interest in a story.
Luckily for him, he has no ethics so that doesn't apply to him.
When will he get it through his thick skull that a "news" story is not the place for his personal BIAS?

  1. Is this the person that is supposed to be his reporter?

    Doesn't she know who he is and what he does?

    Someone PLEASE warn her!
