He's At It Again

Fun With Twitter

Here's an amusing tweet we came across today:

And here's the letter:

Letters To The Publisher
"The People's Voice"

Halburn is neither respectable nor a reporter.
He's a thief, pure and simple.

Putnam Tailgate Cancelled-Halburn Removes Date From Site Only After We Point It Out

Earlier this month, Putnam Country Commissioner Joe Haynes announced that due to Saturday's special primary election for the U.S. Senate and decreased participation in the event, this year's Putnam County family tailgate party on Courthouse Hill has been cancelled.
Even though Halburn knows about the fact, he refuse to take it off his site and inform his readers of the change.
Why would he do this?
The reason is obvious.
It's yet another childish effort by Halburn to make Commissioner Haynes look bad.
Halburn figures if a lot of people show up and there's no event, they'll be angry.

Well, they should be angry.
Not at Commissioner Haynes, but at Halburn for knowingly printing information that he knows to be false.
And maybe they should look in the mirror and be angry with themselves as well, for relying on a so-called "news" site that has a reputation for biased coverage, unethical behavior and a cavalier disregard for its readers and their valuable time.
Now, since PutnamLIES.com has published this article, look for Halburn to stop ignoring the cancellation and start criticizing Haynes for cancelling the event.

Halburn Reports On Bridge Opening But Wasn't There

NEWS


WINFIELD BRIDGE RE-OPENS
Halburn Absent, Writes Story Anyway


Last Friday, the Winfield Bridge (Halburn insists on calling it the Ross Booth Bridge, proving again what an outsider he is) was re-opened to traffic after being shut down over four months for repairs.

In a ribbon cutting ceremony held by the DOH to re-open the bridge Friday afternoon, Governor Joe Manchin said, "I appreciate the public’s patience dealing with the detours and delays that took time away from daily travel schedules during this construction process. Because the contractor finished the work earlier than scheduled, motorists are now able to get back to their normal routines and routes."

Secretary of Transportation Paul Mattox, representatives from Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito's office, the Federal Highway Administration and elected county officials also attended the re-opening.
PutnamLIES.com's correspondent Tobias Fünke was there as well.

But, this article is about who wasn't there.

Yep.
You guessed right.
Halburn.

Halburn ran an article with multiple pictures and had quotes from the Governor.

The problem is that he wasn't in attendance for the opening.

The pictures on his site were taken at 7 o'clock in the morning, 6 hours before the opening.



The quote from the Governor was obviously pulled from another source.

Where was Halburn, Putnam County's gift to journalism? Where was the so-called Putnam County News Leader?
Only he knows.
We'd guess a restaurant was opening and he was scarfing down some free food or he was getting another free dog wash.

We were there, where was he?Obviously he found something more pressing than covering the story of an event that is so important to Putnam county residents.

But it's exactly what we've come to expect from him.

Once again Halburn proves that he is an immoral charlatan masquerading as a journalist. He will stoop to the lowest, most vulgar, vile and disgusting ploys to deceive the honest, hard-working reader.
He is the lowest form of scum on the face of the earth.

You Say It's Our Birthday?

It's been exactly one year now since we decided we'd had enough of Halburn's shit. We were tired of him abusing with impunity Putnam County citizens, government officials and anyone else that disagreed with him. So we started PutnamLIES.com, making it our mission to expose the lies, hypocrisy and unethical behavior of PutnumLive and its "publisher" Mark Halburn.

What a difference a year makes.

There is now an outlet for people to answer the scurrilous charges that he makes.
He has discovered that being on the receiving end of things is not so fun.His baseless attacks and bullying have slowed.

His theft of other photographers' work has slowed.

His serial plagiarism has been exposed.

The exposing of his thefts of letters from other outlets has forced him to resort to publishing generic form letters from politicians promoting their agendas.

His endless whining about Walmart has continued, but now people have the opportunity to answer back. Which led to him pulling his Walmart blog not once, not twice but FOUR times in the last year. The last two times it reappeared he cowardly and cravenly hid the page, making no links to it. Which begs the question, what good is a web page if nobody can find it to read?

We exposed what others had long thought, that many of his ads are placed there without the permission of the businesses they represent in order to sucker others into advertising. He even admitted he runs the ads for free as a "reward."

We exposed the fact that his office was not, as he has maintained for years, located right down the road just outside of the Hurricane city limits, but instead in his second wife's house.

We were the only media outlet to cover his trespassing conviction and provide audio of that trial.

Anytime a future employer Googles his name, they'll be able to find this site and see the truth about him. Someday in the not too distant future, a little boy will be able to see just what kind of asshole his daddy really is.
The internet is forever. This site and the information on it will follow Halburn around until the day he dies.

We invite all those who are sick of Halburn's abuse to continue to contact PutnamLIES.com

We'd also like to thank our loyal readers, our correspondents Harry Stamper and Dolemite and the other members of the Trash Bloggers Alliance: Girl of Words, Tyler Hollywood, Lee, Lenny, Tybois and all the rest.

Our work here is not done. Our output may have slowed but that is only because we have forced the other publisher to alter the way he does business.
We are not going away.

We'll be all around in the dark. We'll be everywhere.
Wherever you can look; wherever he's smeared someone because they won't submit to his demands - we'll be there. Wherever Halburn's pickin' on a woman - we'll be there. When he harasses people at their workplace - we'll be there.
And when people laugh and clap their hands when they hear he's leaving, we'll be there, too.

PutnamLIES.com will be here one day longer than Halburn and his cluttered internet advertising shopper.
