STATEMENT FROM MATT MARQUARDT ON GLOBE GAZETTE PUBLISHING HIS PHOTO DEAD LAST USING FAKE LAST NAME:

Matt Marquardt: “I have been under relentless attack for years from the Globe Gazette and the special interests they serve – special interests that are the true rulers of Mason City. You can be certain, if I am elected, I will fight harder than ever for the citizens of Mason City that have been bullied out of the process and city hall in our community.”

Good day friends. I have been informed that the Globe Gazette ran a story about me and my opponents for city council. They ran my photo dead last with the entirely wrong last name of “BEUHNER” in their newspaper. I find this to be inexcusable – yet typical of their under-handed methods. Also, I attempted to purchase advertising at the Globe Gazette. The editor, David Mayberry, refused my request. He has a history of attacking me earlier this year in a Twitter rant akin to that of a spoiled child. The Globe Gazette has not yet apologized or reached out to me to make this right.

I have called the Globe Gazette to try to get to the bottom of this. I reached David Mayberry. He was extremely rude to me. He refused to have me in to the office to apologize, and he refused to sell me advertising for a second time. Then, he hung up the phone.

I’m sorry that this is the level that Mason City politics has sunk to. My campaign will continue in earnest until we secure victory.

Ultimately, David Mayberry, as Editor of the Globe Gazette, is responsible for the content that lands in what is left of his newspaper.

Ive watched both of you talk a lot of crap.

So true! I cannot wait for judgement day. Makes me almost giddy.

These Folks better change it up (Skipper for one) or they will be begging for mercy . Truth, Fairness, Honesty. Try it on once.

People don’t come here not because of what the city doesn’t have, but because the f_ing liars, cheaters, who have more power than most as in newspaper writers, more money than some, business owners, general heartless pricks, you know it’s you when you read this.

Yes the word got out…about those people in town…YES YOU! You blew it for this place to be on the cool chain. Live with that and choke on the guilt.

Oh gawd, this is so obvious and clear that even a little kid would ask why.

Skipper has done rank crap like this for years too. Of late he did it to Weaver, cut out half of his words about the ward election.
Lets Face it Mason City, if They Hate you they will do ANYTHING.
Clearly the recent elected guy Is Not a Savvy, politically balanced rep for any of us.

Best wishes Matt. Watch your back too…we’ve seen what they are all capable of…a blatant name change might not be anything when they are done. Oh and just because some are gone don’t think for a second they done.

These posts are hilarious! Not being a resident of MC, I come here for the entertainment value. Things get boring here at the Hancock County People’s Collective Turnip Farm (dedicated Democratic Socialist you know) so some entertainment is needed.
Besides, I get a chance to read Comrade Blodgett’s posts on here. While we aren’t in the same political camp, I respect his (genuine) concern for the less fortunate as I posted in the past on the Glob. BAD MOVE by the Glob letting him go.
On a serious note, adding Foster and Marquardt to the Council would be a good call.

I’m curious why you would expect good treatment when your sole purpose for many years was to put them out of business? How should they act to you? Roll out a red carpet?

There’s just something about this mayberry gay, that doesn’t seem right.

scary because today it is Matt they are after, tomorrow it could be me or you

All you have to know is that – The Globe is owned by non American Democrats – same as abc/cbs/nbc – Washington Post and New York Times – all socialist -communist backed filth.

MATT ! Sunday globe – Jack Mc Court opinion says he’s sorry you dropped out of the race ? Did I read that wrong ?

Globe Gazette, well, it sucks. Point Blank! You have our vote.
