Judge orders bankrupt publisher to pay Kansas City Star $2.4 million

I don't think the Star will get another penny out of Janice Ellis, the bankrupt former publisher of RiseUp. Click here for the story.

They being Mark Zieman and Art Brisbane, Brisbane primarily. He was very close to Ellis through Partnership for Children, a lefty group that Brisbane co-chaired along with a member of a local left wing hate group. It also got in trouble when it got caught engaging in blatant political activities. The cronyism that abounds at that rag makes even the most corrupt politics seem somehow almost clean by comparison.

They don't need to. Printing "The Wall Street Journal" will keep us and our profits rolling in. Yea! For those who lost out....too bad, so sad. Ha.

-a lefty group that Brisbane co-chaired along-

What are your references on this? I've gone through 4 years of tax returns for PFC and don't see Brisbane listed as being on the board or any affiliation.

Also I have a hard time characterizing a group as "lefty" whose major donors include Blue Cross, J.E. Dunn, KCPL, Kauffman Foundation and the Sprint Foundation.

Thank you for asking. Brisbane co-chaired the Partnership with E Wynn Presson, one of the honchos of the Meneillyite hate group. At the time even Bigot Bob and several other of his ilk were on the board. If you look in The Star's archives there is a small article from when they had to boot out their former ED when they got caught (during Brisbane's tenure) engaging in blatantly political activity.

If memory serves, the gal who just stuck it to them became the next ED and also wrote columns for The Star.

In a community as corrupt as Kansas City, everything tends to be corrupted by the establishment including charities, foundations, etc. One of the foundations that didn't play along suddenly found itself the target of controversy in The Star. However, as soon as they relented and started donating funds to some of the lefty dominated "charities, the articles stopped and the controversy died. I believe that was the Kaufmann Foundation.

JE Dunn is heavily into contracting government projects and can be expected to kick into approved "charities" as can Sprint whose management approach has always taken a leftward tilt (having been sued successfully for reverse discrimination).

Kansas City's a neat place, but corruption dominates not only the local picture, but KCMO money has heavily poisoned and corrupted Kansas politics.

-Meneillyite hate group-

again with this garbage.

Yes, well I answer your question beyond all responsibility to do so and you still whine and snivel because you don't like the answer. Your friends and cronies are corrupt, bigoted, unethical pieces of shit and all the whining and feigned outrage in the world isn't going to change that.

Hiding left wing extremism behind a charity for children and using a paper to strong arm a Foundation into forking out for your cronies. Liberals, at bottom, are always thieves and crooks who debase and loot everything they touch.

12:36 PM Interesting how you do absolutely nothing to dispute his claim. Of course that is because you cannot.
