Hearst Newspaper President Steven Swartz's Fairfield County Newspaper Monopoly Is Unfair And Unbalanced.
Hearst Editor David McCumber Continues To Give Richard Blumenthal A Free Pass Just Like The Five Other Greenwich Time Editors That Proceeded Him During The Last Two Years
Hearst Newspaper Editors At The Daily Newspapers In Bridgeport, Danbury And Stamford Also Treat Blumenthal With Kid Gloves As He Continues To Grandstand And Cost Connecticut Jobs.
There was a study focusing on what one organization feels is an abuse of power was released, naming the 10 worst state attorneys general in recent history.
All the Hearst Newspapers ignored the report that received national publicity and was discussed on cable news and talk programs across the country.
The last thing the secretive Hearst Foundation needs is litigation brought on by the power hungry Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal
To this day the secretive family trust that controls the privatively held Heart Media empire refuses to even mention the report out of fear that they will end up on the wrong side of Richard "Mr. Lawsuit" Blumenthal.
Hans Bader, Counsel for Special Projects at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, wrote the report, which names Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal as the worst.
"The nation's worst state attorney general is Richard Blumenthal, a tireless crusader for growing the power of his own office and spreading largesse to his cronies," Bader wrote.
Bader reported on Blumenthal's role in litigation against tobacco companies..
The report said Blumenthal steered $65 million in fees to his own allies and the associates of former Gov. John Rowland, later convicted of corruption in an unrelated matter.
It adds that Blumenthal went "through the motions" of soliciting letters from firms interested in representing the state in the lawsuit.
Of the four he selected, one was his former firm, another's partner was married to a partner in the first firm and a managing partner in the third served as counsel to Rowland.
Blumenthal is also bashed for a lawsuit he filed on behalf of several other states against out-of-state utilities for allegedly contributing to global warming.
Connecticut gubernatorial candidate Tom Foley will be making his case to the state Supreme Court about why he believes a state commission should not have approved more than $2.1 million in public campaign funds to a rival.
