The Bob O'Brien Hit List... (revised) An incomplete list of financial journalists with whom Bob O'Brien has sparred over their reporting of the alleged naked shorting crisis: Herb Greenberg of CBS Marketwatch "But on to his latest masterpiece of innuendo and misstatement – a feast for the literary senses. At least he doesn’t begin it with once upon a time – I’ll give him that much. He is affectionately called "lapdog" by some." nfi-info.net Floyd Norris of the New York Times "I guess I'm just a little disappointed that given the opportunity, you decided to bunt rather than knocking the cover off the ball." Message 21068124 Marc Cuban billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks "You are wrong, or at least don’t understand the issue as well as you think." [From: blogmaverick.com ] Message 21084516 Carol Remond of Dow Jones "I inquired why a highly intelligent, obviously informed person would be deliberately introducing fallacious arguments and attempting to re-configure my statements so that they seemed pejorative." Message 21068082 Message 21068136 William Alpert of Barron's "I presume that this entire tempest in a teacup is the latest in an attempt for multi-millionaire hedge fund managers to play the role of aggrieved victims? You might think that they had better things to do with their time - they must view me as quite a threat to their game. I can only take that as flattering." Message 21277572 Message 21731061 Jeff Matthews "I suppose if one inhabits a world where everyone lies, one expects to find liars in every one he meets. Nice place you got here." [ from jeffmatthewsisnotmakingthisup.blogspot.com ] Message 21306913 Jessie Eisinger of the Wall Street Journal "When I publish my email exchanges with him, you will see that my questions mirror his, but take it to the next level of asking which felonies he considers to be acceptable, and how much risking of my life is reasonable to him." Message 21379522 Message 21387358 Message 21387610 Roddy Boyd of the New York Post "Save your breath with Roddy. His schtick is to pretend to be listening, to be open-minded, in roder to get out of you folks anything he can, before writing a ridiculous piece in the service of his masters." Message 21631753 Message 22063508 Seth Jayson of The Motley Fool "I lump him in with the crowd of "journalists" that spin facts in a hedge-fund friendly way, and observe that Rocker couldn't have written it better." Message 21639645 Bethany McLean of Fortune "Bethany, Bethany, I've nurtured a viper at my breast..." Message 21848428 Timothy Mullaney "I have long maintained that there is a cadre of “financial journalists” beholden to the miscreant elements on Wall Street, chartered with attacking whoever is critical of those elements, or whichever company/person is the target du jour." [from: thesanitycheck.com ] Message 22070288 Gary Weiss of Business Week "Another 'Expert' Chimes in With a Lot Of Hat, But No Cattle... I have a hard time believing that a responsible author would so badly butcher the facts." Message 22086214 - Jeff
