2/4/09 We hate To Say We Told So, But We Told You So: Hearst Newspapers Fired John "I Can't pick A Winning Team" Dunster

The Greenwich Post has it, Chris Fountain's For What Its Worth Blog has it, but of coarse the Greenwich Time doesn't have it.

They fired Dunster.

And as usual Chris Fountain was a stand up guy and gave Greenwich Roundup full credit for predicting this yesterday.

Here Is The Original Greenwich Roundup Story:
2/3/09 GREENWICH ROUNDUP NEWS TIP: Greenwich Time Publisher John "I Can't Pick A Winning Team" Dunster Might Be Toast

I guess It Wasn't Such A Good Idea For John "I Can't Pick A Winning Team" Dunster To Let Thin Skinned Greenwich Time Editor Get Hearst Corporation Lawyers And Executives To Get A Close Look At What Is Going On At Their Greenwich Time Property.
IT LOOKS LIKE JOHN DUNSTER FOUND OUT THAT WHEN GREENWICH ROUNDUP STARTS FOCUSING ON YOU THE RESULTS CAN BE DEVISTATING
WHY DID DUNSTER WANT TO PICK A FIGHT WITH A CRITIC INSTEAD OF IMPROVING HIS PERFOMANCE?

By The Way, If You Will Look Back At Past Greenwich Roundup Posts You Will Find That Greenwich Roundup's Disgruntled Stamford Advocate /Greenwich Time Sources Allowed This Blog To Be The First In Greenwich To Report About David Warner, George Irish And Jim Zebora Being Replaced.

However, Chris Fountain Had The Scoop And Was First To Report Last May That Joe Pisani Had Been Fired As Editor Of The Greenwich Time
Bruce Hunter Had Better Get His Rear In Gear
Or He Just Might Be Next

Greenwich Roundup has not published as many posts lately, because he just recovered from a sever cold and had to catch up on work at his other job.

Plus Greenwich Roundup is currently involved in a Freedom Of Information argument with Betty Sternberg, Kim Eves And now maybe even with Town Attorney John Wayne Fox.

I left a message for Greenwich Public School Superintendent Betty Sternberg, but she did not return the call.

Basically, I wanted to ask Betty why she was focusing her staff on excluding one reporter instead making sure every child in Greenwich had the best possible CMT scores.

But Betty Sternberg is always picking unnecessary fights and attempting to exclude members from Greenwich Society. We All Remember Betty's Fights With The Boy Scouts, Glenville Parents And Most Recently With Hamilton Avenue Parents.

Betty's has repeatedly been a divider who has failed to operate the school system in a free, open and transparent manner. Right now Betty wants to waste Town Of Greenwich resources on an expensive lawsuit designed to prevent a media outlet from being put on the email list.

Betty Sternberg Actually Sent Board Of Education Communication's Director Kim Eves An Email And Directed Her To Contact Greenwich Town Attorney John Wayne Fox For Advice On Legal Tactics To Exclude Greenwich Roundup Form The Emailed Press Releases.

Betty Is Just Being Petty Like Former First Selectman Jim Lash.

Insensitive Betty Sternberg Is In The Process Of Wasting Town Funds As 70 Town Employees Positions Are On The Chopping Block. How Can Betty Continue To Waste Money As People Are Losing Their Jobs?

The Town's Unionized Employees Are Being Asked To Go Without A Pay Raise As Betty Sternberg Wants Town Attorney John Wayne Fox To Waste Tax Dollars Preparing Weak Legal Arguments As To Why Greenwich Public School's Communications Director Kim Eves Doesn't Have To Take 30 Seconds And Add Greenwich Roundup To The Emailed Press Release List.

Uncaring Betty Is Just Being Stupid, Because Greenwich Roundup Has Criticized Her And Her Failed Administration.

There Is No Cost What So Ever To The Single Family Home Owners Of Greenwich If Kim Eves Adds Greenwich Roundup To The List, Kim Types In Greenwich Roundup's email adress once and everytime Betty Sends Out A Press Release Our Readers Will Get To Read The Latest News From Their School System.

But Greenwich Taxpayers May Be Forced To Pay For Another Expensive Lawsuit Like The One Where First Selectman Jim Lash Got A Criminal Record And A Fine.

I Think The Single Family Home Owners Are Still Paying For That Fiasco, Because The Last Time I Heard John Wayne Fox Was Still Appealing That Decision.

In The Jim Lash Case, The Guy Eventually Got His Public Documents And The Taxpayers Are Still Getting The Legal Bills Long After Jim Lash Is Gone.

In The End Greenwich Roundup Is Going To Get On The Greenwich Board Of Education's Emailed Press Release List, The Only Question Is What Will Board Of Education Candidates Tell Voters If The Taxpayers Are Paying Legal Bills Long After Betty Sternberg Is Gone.

And The Real Crazy Part Is That Greenwich Roundup Prints All Of The Press Releases It Receives Without Modification Or Filtering. The Only Thing We Do Is Identify It As A Press Release And Then Print In Full Without Any Editorializing What So Ever.

Greenwich Roundup Let's It's Readers Decide Independently About What To Think About Press Releases.

I spoke with Kim Eves And John Wayne Fox today and explained all of the above issues. They both said they were going to speak to Betty Sternberg and possibly get Grenwich Roundup on the Board Of Education's Emailed Press Release List.

Let's Hope Betty Will Do The Right Thing And Not Get The School Board Involved In A Bunch Of Costly Civil Rights Issues.

Otherwise Board Of Education Members, The School Superintendent, The School's Communication Director May End Up In Court For Civil Rights Violations Concerning Freedom Of Speech Issues And Illegal Denial's Of Access To Public Records.

Most Board Of Education Press Releases Are Notifications Of Public Meetings And Conneticut State Law Says That Any Town Resident Has A Right To Be Notified Of Those Meetings. However, The School Board Can Charge A Nominal Fee Based Apon The True Cost Of Sending Out The Notice.

There Is No Additional Cost For Kim Eves To Hit The Send Button In An Email She Was Already Going To Send Anyway. Dose Betty Sternberg Want Greenwich Roundup And All Of The Other Reporters In Town To Chip In And Pay Kim Eves For Her Emailed Press Releease?

Betty Is Just Being Silly. She Just Tell Kim To Take 30 Seconds And Add GreenwichRoundup@gmail.com To The Emailed List, Before Their Are National Headlines Like.....

Former Connecticut Education Department Head Betty Sternberg
Tries To Exclude Citizen Journalist Who Criticized Her

Lawsuit Says Greenwich School Superintendent
Betty Sternberg Violates Bloggers Civil Rights

Greenwich School Board In Court For Excluding
New Media Outlet That Put A Spotlight On Their Poor Performance

Voters Angry As Greenwich School Board
Attacks Blogger Instead Of Plunging Test Scores

Greenwich Roundup Had A Lawyer Who Is Disgusted With The Sternberg Administration Give Him Some Very Good Free Advice Today.

Why Isn't The Board Of Education Chairwoman Savvy Enough To Tell Betty, "I Want A Transparent School Administration. Tell Kim Eves To Take 30 Seconds And Put That Citizen Journalist On The Emailed Press Release List. We Need To Have Greenwich School Administrators Totally Focused On Having A Flawless Opening At Hamilton Avenue School."

Every Pay Day, There Are Going To Be Over 1500 Town Unionized Families That Are Very Angry At The Board Of Education And The Town Of Greenwich, If They Waste Precious Tax Dollars On A Trivial Lawsuit About An Email Press Release List.

Election Day Is Not That Far Away.
