Muchnick Hits One Million Mark in Calls For Congressional Investigations

OK, we might be exaggerating a bit, but so far failed writer Irvin Muchnick has called for Congressional investigations into the WWE, NFL, Copyright Law, U S A Swimming, among others.  What do those four have in common?  RESULT?  NO CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATIONS.  His latest rants are about a meeting between U S A Swimming and California Congressman George Miller that will supposedly lead to public investigations.  But get this, GEORGE MILLER WILL NOT EVEN BE AT THE MEETING!  His staff will handle it, illustrating the "importance" of the subject to the Representative.

So one must wonder; is the messenger the problem?  Muchnick, who was recently sued by a minor for publishing incendiary accusations of sexual assault, has absolutely no credibility.  At this point, anyone with a legitimate issue would be best served if they stayed far away from this individual and not let him poison it. 

In the near future, anyone allowing this hack anywhere near their issue faces the prospect of being "Muchnicked."

One quick note:  In a recent post, Muchnick actually called himself "The blog of record" on the NFL concussion issue.  I'd cut back on the meds if I were you, Irvin.

By the way, get a new profile photo.  You use that stale picture on everything you send out.  No photo can make you look human, but at least it would be less than 10 years old. 

Muchnick Reduced to "Infomercials"

"It is fair to say that I was “ordered” to do certain things, in the same sense that the plaintiff was “ordered” to dismiss the lawsuit in return."

    ---Irvin Muchnick


Irvin Muchnick's journalism career has now been limited to hawking his 99-cent e-books on obscure websites.

You've seen them before--most often on late-night television--commercials disguised as news.  Shunned by legitimate news outlets, failed writer Irvin Muchnick now writes his long, insane ramblings on obscure web blogs.

And even those NOW COME WITH A DISCLAIMER such as "The opinions expressed are those of the author and are not necessarily the views of (fill in the blank)."

Real news organizations won't touch this guy with a 10 foot pole.

U S A SWIMMING SMACKS DOWN MUCHNICK

“I certainly violated common corporate journalistic convention by deciding to publish names of minors.”
    
     -- Irvin Muchnick



Just for a moment, let's put aside the fact that Irvin Muchnick destroyed a class action settlement that would have paid freelance writers millions of dollars and focus on his failed new endeavor as a blogger.

A recent public relations statement by U S A Swimming supported a greater cooperation with "legitimate media," while stressing a policy of not responding to "personal bloggers."

As the few people who read him are aware, that was a direct smack down of failed writer Irvin Muchnick  Muchnick, who was recently sued by a minor for defamation and invasion of privacy, made sure that aspiring, responsible bloggers would get no assistance with stories about U S A Swimming.

Muchnick, in a desperate attempt to attract attention, has wildly tossed out vicious theories about the sport of swimming without any tangible proof.  He routinely takes minute facts and twists them into wild stories of sexual abuse.  Muchnick is a perfect example of all that is wrong with internet journalism.

Muchnick has been wrong about everything he has ever written about.  What makes him so dangerous is that he couches his bogus opinions as facts.

Again, if he wasn't responsible for taking money out of my pocket by destroying the settlement, I would have stayed as far away from this person as humanly possible.   But his total disregard for people makes it my duty to inform the world of his irresponsibility.

If you look back at this blog's sister twitter site, @notirvmuchnick, you can verify that everything I have said about him has turned out to be 90 per cent accurate, including the lawsuit.

His latest claim is that California Representative George Miller is going to conduct public hearings on the "corruption" at U S A Swimming.  The fact is that Miller will meet with the representatives of U S A Swimming's Safe Sport program and that will be the end of it.  Mark  my words:  THERE WILL BE NO CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION OF THIS PHANTOM PROBLEM.

Of course, that will not stop Muchnick.  He'll continue to write innuendo as fact and his opinion as the truth.  There will be another lawsuit in his future.  He can't help himself.

Here is the latest blog from U S A Swimming on the subject.  Enjoy the truth, for a change.

BALTIMORE PAPER PICKS UP MUCHNICK DEFAMATION SUIT COVERAGE

Good, honest coverage by Baltimore's City Newspaper concerning the Muchnick defamation suit.  Muchnick calls this a "hit piece."  Judge for yourself.

http://citypaper.com/news/treacherous-waters-1.1528262

Also, a telling admission was disclosed on failed writer Irvin Muchnick's Tuesday post:

"It is fair to say that I was “ordered” to do certain things, in the same sense that the plaintiff was “ordered” to dismiss the lawsuit in return."

Nice spin by Muchnick, but the fact remains that Muchnick was the one who tried to settle the suit, not the other way around.  If you ask me, he got off lightly being "ordered" to take down his inflammatory accusations against a minor.  DON'T FORGET, THE MINOR'S PARENTS HAVE AN OPTION TO RE-FILE THE DEFAMATION SUIT.

What kind of credibility can a writer have who was forced to settle a defamation and invasion of privacy lawsuit against a minor?  Any future Muchnick employer should be given an opportunity to answer that question.

Muchnick News and Notes

I personally would like to thank Irvin Muchnick for providing in his rambling blogs all the evidence necessary against attorney Charles Chalmers. When a complaint is filed with the California Bar Association for an obvious conflict of interest, it shouldn't be difficult to prove.  The complaint, along with Muchnick's blog entries, will be presented as soon as the alleged new freelance settlement is scuttled, as Muchnick knows will happen.  I actually feel sorry for Chalmers.  I think he believed he was helping freelance writers at first, however as attorney for the objectors, it is a clear conflict of interest to get involved with a new settlement.

On the subject of his defamation lawsuit, Muchnick refuses to give up.  Though now referring to the victim as "alleged" and changing the investigation from governmental to a "U S A Swimming investigation," the failed writer is treading on thin ice.  Muchnick weaseled out of the defamation suit by removing all references to the minor plaintiff, but is continuing to put a spotlight on the alleged 2012 incident.  He's trying to walk a tightrope in reprinting what the court said he is allowed to do, but the plaintiffs have reserved the right to re-file the lawsuit should Muchnick step over the line.  It's just a matter of time before he can't help himself and does just that.

Muchnick, Thy Name is Sadist

As if destroying the Freelance Class Action Settlement eight years ago wasn't enough for sadistic failed writer Irvin Muchnick, he's still trying to convince writers that there will be another settlement.

A week ago, this poor excuse for a human being said on his blog that a new settlement has been finalized and the only thing left is for the publishers to approve.  THE ONLY THING?  More than 40 publishers have to approve the deal and Muchnick KNOWS that won't happen.  So wake up people and smell the coffee.

The only thing writers can do at this point is continue to disclose Muchnick's antics to everyone who will listen.  They must be aware of what he did in smashing the freelance settlement and that he was sued for defamation by a minor and was forced to settle the case because he knew he would lose.

Sociopathic Behavior

I have long claimed that failed writer Irvin Muchnick has exhibited sociopathic behavior.  He continues to prove my point.  It's not enough that Muchnick was sued for writing that an innocent minor was a sexual assailant and was forced to remove all the defamatory items from his blog, but now he continues to use an anti-Semitic nickname for Jewish pitcher Trevor Rosenthal.

Anyone who supports this person by reading his inflammatory rants should be ashamed of themselves.
