Is this the editorial board of the Times Union or Hearst Corporation?Judging by the number of visits today to this blog site, it would appear that the Times Union newspaper and Hearst Corporation are taking our preliminary notice of claim for libel rather seriously and so they should. We don't make idle threats.
We notified the hierarchy of the Times Union, including Vice President, Associate Publisher and General Manager George R. Hearst III, himself, about Mr Waldman's affair with Mr Benham and Mr Horne and we've pointed the head honchos in the direction of this blog so that they can see for themselves what we are fighting and we've also sent them to Mr Benham's and Mr Horne's postings so they can see the level of depravity so trusted by their "hill-town" reporter, Mr Scott Waldman.
For all the talking done by editor Rex Smith about ethics in journalism on local radio and his cozy relationships with broadcasters, there is a worrying discrepancy between what he's giving lip service to and the conduct of his staff. This may be something that needs to be more closely examined by management.
How is it possible that smaller weekly newspaper publishers sniffed out the rats and refused to get involved with Benahm's and Horne's scandals and trolling but the big bad Times Union and Hearst Corporation took the bait? What are their editors doing?!?
The classic cases relating to First Amendment protection and publishers, whether electronic or print media, like Time v. Sullivan, Immuno, Gertz, Milkovitch and other critical lawsuits make many exceptions to freedom of speech and freedom of the press, especially when considering the concept of what is termed "constitutional malice" or a reckless disregard for the falsity of facts published. The law posits that there are professional standards--and most responsible publishers have adopted such standards and enforce them in their organizations (see our previous postings below)--but there's always the overzealous underling, like a Mr Waldman, who are hungry for a some tabloid facts to get out a story and cause b-i-g problems for their bosses. This is turning out to be just one of those instances. Too bad, Mr Waldman. But perhaps your talents would be better placed at a newsstand selling newspapers rather than writing for them. Have you ever considered a career change? Maybe your bosses are doing that for you as we write.
