Business Owner Rebuffs Halburn Shakedown

Halburn continues to demonstrate his lack of journalistic ethics. 

 

Now he's upset because a local business owner refused his offer for her to pay him $25.00 to write an "article" about her business on his blog.
His reasoning? She charges, so she should pay him for a story. In his words, "No pay, no article."
Amazing that he now publicly admits that he's a shakedown artist.

His post of almost a month ago has really gotten under the Halburn's thin skin
Why did he wait so long to whine?
Obviously something happened to trigger it. Whenever he makes a post separately to draw attention to something posted here, it's almost always because someone's said something to him.
Now he's begging, "PLEASE contact me if you're a new business that I haven't shaken down before and I'll run a free article (and then shake you down to run an ad.)."
We stand by the opinion that he's a shakedown artist.
