Do you believe, as I do, that The Record of Woodland Park is being held hostage by lazy, incompetent editors, and that the Borgs are absentee landlords interested only in enriching themselves?
Are you tired of editors playing favorites among the staff? Are you tired of staffers who apparently do little work, and get away with it? Do you disagree with a news policy that largely ignores Hackensack and many other Bergen County towns?
Do you wonder what happened to the diversity of the newspaper's columnists? Do you believe John Cichowski, Mike Kelly and other columnists should be busted back to reporter to refresh their stale viewpoints?
Have you been called into a disciplinary meeting with Managing Editor Frank Burgos or are you one of the unlucky few people he took to lunch when he first came to the paper? Do you believe cliche-ridden Frank Scandale is the worst editor ever?

I agree, Victor, and everyone knows it. Just please tell me: What's the point?
ReplyDeleteIt's a private enterprise, not a public trust.
Sure, I opposed the Mordaga witchhunt. I have inside info hitherto undisclosed that would make your hair stand up -- if you had any.
Still, it's their money. You're not Michael Moore, they're not Ford Motor Co. and Mac isn't Roger.
You still haven't answered me. Instead of mass-producing bile for free consumption, why not blow the lid off the real stories?
Doesn't that do more harm than bunch of anonymous people pissing on the side of the building?
Respectfully,
Gerard J. "Newshound" DeMarco
Now newspapers aren't a public trust? I still have hair, so maybe you can e-mail me about the "inside info."
ReplyDeletehow are the borg's enriching themselves??? the paper and all other newspapers are losing money.
ReplyDeleteYou don't consider Stephen buying a $3.65 million home during the recession and the company downsizing as enriching himself? He lived in a $2 million home, the one he showed the staff in mid-2006. Do you know how much he and others are paid?
ReplyDeleteDon't you recall Stephen's first words on meeting the staff in mid-2006? He said, "I'm not in this for the money." What a joke. That's exactly what he was after.
ReplyDelete"Instead of mass-producing bile for free consumption, why not blow the lid off the real stories?" -- Cliffview Pilot Editor/Publisher Gerard DeMarco
ReplyDeleteBut Sunday morning's lead story on CVP, which purports to cover the Gold Coast, is about the volcano in Iceland. Hey Jer, is this a "real story" for your several dozen readers? Why would anyone turn to your site for the latest on the volcano and air travel mess? Slow news day over there? No phone messages from your pal Molinelli?
Of course, where did the $3.65 million mortgage come from? North Jersey Media Group. He also got an NJMG mortgage on his fist Tenafly home, and when that was sold for $2 million, all of it went back to NJMG and nothing was paid down on the estate he moved to. All of this is in public records.
ReplyDeleteThanks to the last Anonymous for pointing out what is obvious to anyone who looks at CVP.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Scamdale or one of the Borg sibs, I'd be laughing harder than Deirdre Sykes at this sniping between the Cliffview Pilot and Eye On the Record. Both blogs serve a valuable purpose, so what say we return to the original goal of keeping the pressure on the Record in your own different ways.
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't surprise me in the least if some of the anonymussies are Record managers making comments aimed at promoting this blog vs. blog sniping. Not all, of course, because some of the anons appear to be Record staffers who know they'd be toast if it were known they even looked at this stuff.
Anonypussies is more appropriate, Aaron.
ReplyDeleteDon't be disingenuous, Broken Aaron. CVP is a web site, as you know. EOR is a blog. And, believe it or not, the sniping is good for my business.
ReplyDeleteHa ha. I get it. Broken Arrow. Broken Aaron. Blog. Web site. Whatever.
