Did WGCH's Michael Metter get Teri Buhl fired? « For What It's Worth
by christopherfountain
Bill Clark writes that Ms. Buhl may have been fired from Greenwich Time for reporting on the stock scam WGCH owner Michael Metter is running. I don’t know – it seems to me that GT’s Dave McCucumber is a frightened rabbit, scared of his own shadow, and would a dump a reporter at the first sign that someone was “Angy” at McCucumber, but certainly Teri gave Metter something to be angry about. He’s running a penny stock fraud for something called SpongeTech and people running scams just hate when you point that out.. ...
Here Is What Chris Fountain's Readers
Are Saying About Teri Buhl's Reporting
William Randolph Hearst would have Teri up to his little place at San Simeon. She’s the type of reporter that sold print. I think we have a mess a brewing at Greenwich times.
i think its a good bet that the WGCH reporting is what pushed teri out. those pro spongeteck penny stock pumpers seemed like a crazy lot. plus the paper probably got cold feet reporting the dirt on another intown old world media outlet.

NEWS REPORT FROM TODAY:
Employee At Hedge Fund Plainfield Calls His Boss Holmes A Narcissist
A couple of months ago FORTUNE magazine outted Plainfield, a Connecticut hedge fund, for gating investors, not allowing investors to pull their money out.
Refusing investor's requests to pull their money signalled trouble. Teri Buhl has now discovered that Plainfield didn't want any more information getting out. They asked one of their borrowers to sign an agreement saying that they would not comment about Plainfield to anyone.
After Buhl found out about this agreement, she asked Plainfield to comment. They wouldn't.
But one employee emailed Teri this:
“Homes is livid, you and Benner have put some chinks in his armor. Narcissists like him don’t especially like it when they are called out in public. Where there is smoke, there is fire.”
He's (or she's) talking about his boss, Max Holmes

Hearst Newspaper Editor David McCumber
A cautionary tale from David McCucumber
Greenwich Time’s editor, shown below, is just a pathetic shadow of the man he once was. I was dismayed, after Googling the guy, to discover that he was once a kindred spirit and my own age.Spent a year ranching in Montana, went on the road, and was a truly adventurous guy. Now he’s just a hack, struggling to hang on until his pension comes through. How sad. Makes me think all the better about moving to Hong Kong. What do you say, Dave – want to try one last blast with me? It’s our last chance.
