Beyond Incompetence

The papers come, the solicitations come, then they keep coming...

A personal message to Lee Enterprises

after a do not contact, do not deliver, do not mail calls made several times.  The Circulation Manager, Lewis Hall cant keep track of anything.  [He needs a job as a baggage manager at an airline]

INCOMPETENCE AT LEE ENTERPRISES.

This blog is being well read Stacey Mueller, Lewis Hall;  your corporation (LEE) is in a nosedive:
LEE is at a 52 week low at 59 cents per share.

Lee in Montana selling Monday--Sunday subscriptions for $32.00 [save $150---they're desperate!]

Lee Enterprises cant even keep public stock above the minimum $1 trading price, or keep track of solicitations, newspaper promotions, and "free" garbage newspapers begging people to subscribe.

Lewis Hall in circulation offered to retrieve any papers delivered to my house.
THEY KEPT COMING.
I took him up on the offer, hoping that these idiots at Lee Enterprises would get the hint.

This came in the mail today:
so much for not getting what you asked for....I cant stop getting it:

So, Stacy Mueller, Publisher of this garbage, if I have a $27M lawsuit against you, and the 5 other Lee Newspapers in Montana, do you need a court order to stop sending me crap?  And do you honestly think I would ever pay for, or read a Lee Enterprise "Newspaper"?

Will you listen to your DEFENSE attorney? [He's been notified that you cannot control your paper]

Obviously reason, sanity, or professional anything is out of the question for Lewis Hall, Stacey Mueller, or that phone call center employee who would not give their name at Lee Enterprises.

Publisher Stacey Mueller, already determined that no professionalism, public service, or customer service will come out of a Lee Enterprise product in Montana.  Keep up the good work.

Stacey Mueller has no control over harassing citizens who very clearly do not want anything from Lee Enterprises, the Missoulian Newspaper in Missoula Montana.

Please stop "disturbing the peace" or I'll have to ask a court to stop you next time. 

UPDATE: Ms. Mueller resigned as the Lee Enterprise publisher in Missoula Montana over two newspapers.  Thanks a MILLION Stacey!

Lewis Hall's job, or yours should be put in jeopardy due to not being able to control your business, your "journalists" or your staff.

A Typical Lee Reporter

This post describes a current senior reporter, and former "editor" for Lee Enterprises in Montanistan (that's Montana without Constitutional Rights).

Perry Backus snowjobs the people of Montana with his written garbage, a willing participant of one of the largest civil and criminal conspiracies in the United States: Montana.

As a native of Dillon, Montana Perry Backus was raised in the Stockholm Syndrome that rules Montana with fear.  [Montana is ruled by fear; Lee publishes and propagandizes it]

Even the Bison get the snowjob treatment:

Everything in Montana is so blasted with Perry Backus's written crap that nothing is left unexposed.

We are used to snow in Montana, and the people know how to take care of it, and avoid it when it is dangerous. Perry Backus, employee of the Ravalli Republic Newspaper has never seen a challenge to his ability to snowjob the people of Montana.

Perry Backus is double and triple tagging his own name with articles in the hopes of you not reading this message. We need to control the snowjob by Perry Backus, knowing he absolutely ENJOYS watching other people suffer. He has a sick enjoyment that he displays when he traps his victims with a worldwide message of what amounts to nothing more than snowblown bullshit from the Ravalli Republic.

Lets compare Perry Backus to the slaughter house worker. It is a sick individual who enjoys destroying and killing reputations, or helpless people exposed by the worst justice system in the United States: Montana.

Prosecutors lay out their victims for Perry Backus, and he takes them out via his written prose blasted out like a wicked snowblower to a world wide audience who don't know the snowblown bullshit origin, and the paid work of one Perry Backus of the Ravalli Republic.
roadtransport.com

The problem is, regular people reading his crap in the Lee Enterprises "newspapers" online or within the state don't realize that is is a bunch of set up BULLSHIT, sometimes, most times without probable cause.

Ravalli County is made fun of for people wearing "tin hats" that fear the government, but what people really need to be wearing is protection from Perry Backus and the Ravalli Republic and the snowjob bullshit:
staticmixers.net

How else are people from Ravalli County to protect themselves from Perry Backus?
[We decided to educate Perry Backus on Journalism, and buy his name]
http://www.perrybackus.com/2011/09/journalism-help.html

He doesn't know when to quit, know how to correct a mistake, and only knows how to be malicious and do his good snowjob work for the Ravalli Republic. Evil takes willing participants, and Perry Backus of the Ravalli Republic certainly knows how to be evil.

Unbalanced Sheet

The media group Lee Enterprises is seeing red in the budgetary woes.

$171 Million in the red, as losses in only 90 days [the third quarter].

read more: http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20110806/BUSINESS/108060302/-1/ENT06/Lee-Enterprises-reports-171-6-million-loss

This amounts to almost $2 Million dollars a day!

The CEO of the company bragged that the online ad revenue was up 22%.  That and $1.25 might get you a cup of coffee at the corner diner, or pay the utility bill for four hours per month.

The arrogance factor, embedded in our corporate structure evident in ENRON will boost their fictitious worth to the public and it will make the crash of Lee Enterprises all the more spectacular.

 The company model of defaming Americans for ad revenue and hype factor is eroding: Lee is charging viewers for online access, a sign that newspapers are not selling.

As the price of paper spikes, I noticed that Lee's Ravalli Republic Newspaper from Montana looked like a cocktail napkin in its $.75 per day dispensary window.  It was pathetic---Just like Lee.

We always knew Lee Enterprises SUCKED.  Now we are reading about it in real newspapers, and analysts describing the NYSE trading price staying below the minimum of one dollar.

Finders Keepers

Virginia Bolen of Hamilton Montana was one of the first brave stances against local corruption, and violation of her rights. Her account, very thoughtfully written, documents law enforcement abuses against a senior AMERICAN citizen in Montana.

At approximately 70 years of age, she was charged with a FELONY for finding a valuable watch. It turns out, the owner was friends with the former county attorney's wife.
read more: www.GeorgeCorn.com

Virginia Bolen wrote a book of her experience called Finders Keepers, the strange encounter with local law (enforcement).

Find it at Amazon at:
http://www.amazon.com/Finders-Keepers-Citizens-Bizarre-Encounter/dp/0595508022

The book describes how the local press, mostly Lee Enterprises papers in Montana were helping the hype of the story, and Bolen shrewdly uses the newspaper accounts to their demise.

Hats off and Moxy to Virginia Bolen, featured and interviewed in "Beneath the Beauty" documentary describing her ordeal, with the Ravalli County Sheriff Department, the Ravalli County Attorney Office, specifically former prosecutor Michael Reardon; up for election as Hamilton City Judge in November 2011.

Hamilton Judge Reardon Recall affidavit:
http://www.ethicscomplaint.com/2011/05/judge-michael-reardon-hamilton-mt.html
[Note-Michael Reardon requested enhanced penalty for Bolen, due to crime being so "heinous"]

Virginia Bolen's book is a whistleblower media, and a courageous effort.
a must read in our days of struggle to sustain our established rights in America.

If more Americans such as Virginia Bolen demonstrated their tenacity to fight local corruption, the citizens of this country would not be facing a vortex of judicial problems. Please read Finders Keepers from Virginia Bolen, and decide if Montana is a place where your hard earned income should be spent to support tourism (the state's ranking source of income). Montana sits last in the Continental US for Justice, per the US Justice Department in 2007: Mrs. Bolen describes why in her book.

NYSE warns LEE Enterprises

According to Reuters News wire, Lee Enterprises of Davenport IA was warned that its stock price was falling below the minimum to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) July 14, 2011.

The debt load due in April 2012 might be too much for LEE Enterprises, the USA print media company which owns nearly 50 papers in 23 states.

LEE should learn from ENRON, don't inflate your worth, it just makes the crash worse.  Goldman Sacks has made some effort to spare Lee Enterprises with a structured bankruptcy.

UPDATE: NYSE warns Lee Enterprises for second time of less than $1 stock trade price....

Lee Enterprises HQ, Davenport, Iowa USA

(say, isnt 6 stories high enough to crack Humpty Dumpty's Head?)

Wouldn't that mean that the US Government would own LEE, [Goldman Sacks] and continue the misinformation, and defamation that makes LEE what it is today?  That is not advertising revenue on Lee's balance sheet, it's payoffs in the state of Montana where LEE enjoys a print media monopoly, and a symbiotic relationship with state and local government.

The Saint Louis Post Dispatch purchase is an anchor around the Lee organization, thinking they were too big to not be able to handle the excessive purchase price in circa. 2007.

Powerful people like Mary Junck, CEO are lost in their own world.  When journalistic standards have corportized print media, the integrity falls out of the written product, and the bottom line.

Now the victims of Lee Enterprises need only wait: the economy will strangle a company that lost sight of values, and only targeted the bottom line.  The problem is, the bottom has dropped out for Lee.  No matter a bailout, or structured bankruptcy, the values at LEE continue to suck, and will lead to their continued demise in the United States.  Let the print media suffer from their mistake:

altering journalism standards for profits will not sustain itself in a free market.

Volunteers Needed front page news

Lee Enterprises papers in Montana are told what to print, and where to put it.

We are saying that Lee Enterprises sucks because it dupes the people.  Perhaps Lee Enterprises is not aware of the world frenzy of News of the World and Rupert Murdoch.  They also committed crimes to get news stories.  Lee Enterprises takes money from the mouthpiece of the most corrupt justice system in the continental US: The State of Montana [ranks last for justice per USDOJ].

By taking money to protect Montana officials, and to print on command for local governments, this is a racket, and a crime, RICO.  Lee Papers willingly destroy those who expose their deeds:
http://www.investigativeblogger.com/2011/09/lee-enterprises-protects-unethical.html

Power of the pen only goes so far by deceiving the people: we find the truth works better.

Print media is desperate for money, and in Lee Enterprises case, will take money to print on demand.  Why for example would a request for volunteers be headline news?  It isn't.

http://www.ravallirepublic.com/news/local/article_b3722d22-b1ab-11e0-b378-001cc4c03286.html

Its Perry Backus's way of being whats known as "a useful idiot" for the local corruption.  When they all work together, all parties are protected (they think).  Harvard Law Review v.35 calls it criminal conspiracy, even when no crime is committed.  When a group of people overcome other smaller groups, or individuals that is a perfect example of the Montana way; with Lee Enterprises Monopoly in  the Montana Print Media.

Going with the current "flow" is the way to keep your job at Lee Enterprises, even when you practice defamation on command for the State of Montana.  Ask Perry Backus, it is not due to his "award winning" writing in a closed shop, it is Perry Backus's commitment to corruption and loyalty to the rag named Ravalli Republic.

It can get to your head, having the name of the paper also being the name of the rogue Republic that does not abide by laws, rules, or constitutional rights.  All it took to rid the newbies at the Ravalli Republic was to point out their defamation, or plain errors....poof the not-so-useful idiots were gone.

Former Ravalli Republic Editor, (actually two removed now) was caught plagiarizing editorials from other newspapers, so the standards for Perry Backus are not really high as it is at Lee Enterprises.

Perry Backus's Ravalli Republic in Hamilton Montanistan

owned and operated by Lee Enterprises, Davenport, Iowa

So next time you see Perry Backus senior reporter from the Ravalli Republic tell him his paper is pathetic, and is completely fake if he has no control over content, or placement of "news stories".

Worldwide, the print media business is in big trouble, but Lee Enterprises made their cake and should be forced to eat all of the consequences of someone like Perry Backus and Lee in Montana.

Volunteers are needed: to rescue Lee Enterprises in Montana: wow do they suck.

Ladue News publisher, editor start new paper - Lee Enterprises Blog, Lee Enterprises,

"A group of Ladue News employees have left the St. Louis-area Lee Enterprises lifestyle paper to start a rival publication. 

The new Town & Style will debut Feb. 9. Thirty issues are planned for the first year; a weekly schedule is planned after that. It will be led by former Ladue News publisher Lauren Rechand and editor Dorothy Weiner, and will employee about 15 people. Eight more former Ladue News employees have already joined Town & Style.

Weiner told the St. Louis Business Journal that Lee's corporate structure forced her, and several other Ladue News employees, to leave that publication. 
http://leewatch.blogspot.com/2010/12/ladue-news-publisher-editor-start-new.html"There's no question that Lee Enterprises, the parent company (of Ladue News), is very bottom-line focused," she said. "Ladue News has always been something of a family business. Even after it was sold to Pulitzer, we were left alone and we were allowed to run independently. Recently, there is more of a shift to (Lee) homogenizing all holdings in St. Louis. That was what people rebelled against."
