Is Lee Enterprises Lying to Shareholders, Stockholders? Is Lee Enterprises Breaking the Law?

"LEE Ent. just announced that on March 21, 2012 during their annual meeting of stockholders they will be seeking shareholder authorization to perform a reverse stock split.

That split will involve combining anywhere from 2 to 5 shares into 1.

Given the price of LEE Ent. stock, which is currently trading at $1.06/share, and continuing to fall, it could result in a "new" price of $2.12 to $5.30/share.

It would not do anything to restore benefits that have been stolen from employees, but it would change the "perception" of LEE's continued failure and Mary Junck's inability to move the Corporation forward with actual productive measures that would demonstrably increase the value of LEE Ent.

When you don't have any actual solutions, like Mary Junck, you reach into your black bag of magic tricks and pull a Houdini!"

How Mary Junck got to the top.

The Lee Enterprises retirees in St. Louis made a video when Mary Junck took their health care benefits.  When you own a company like LEE, Mary Junk was more interested in making profits for herself than thanking the people who made her company what it was.

That is why I said Mary Junck is like a corporation, no feelings, maximize profits, crap on former employees who made Lee what it was.

Their singing needs a little work [no VOICE, no American Idols here, just former Lee Employees]

This is what Mary Junck is all about, the bottom line....HER company.  Well this is what the company thinks of Mary Junck.   Mary Junk is a corporation disguised as a human being.

"a PDF of Mary Junck's Jan 23, 2012 letter to Share Holders and Employees.

Note that FIRST, she denotes ONLY a 13% dilution in the value of Lee Ent. stock due to: "The refinancing extends the maturities of Lee's borrowings to December 2015 and April 2017 and included the issuance of 6,743,640 shares of Lee Common Stock, amounting to dilution of approximately 13% in the base of outstanding shares."

SO, LEE Ent. just issued a bunch of more worthless paper, to the tune of 6,743,640squares of toilet paper. Nothing backing these but blind faith.

NEXT, LEE Ent. is planning on pulling a Houdini by doing a "reverse stock split", whereby the total number of issued shares of LEE Ent. stock would be HALVED, thus having the effect of IMMEDIATELY DOUBLING their value, and catching DUMB and IGNORANT Investors off guard and having those not in the know thinking LEE Ent. did something worthwhile.

LEE Ent. is a desperate Corporation with a desperate CEO who is pulling every trick in the book to loot LEE Ent. dry before it collapses into a worthless heap.

From Investopedia:

Investopedia explains 'Reverse Stock Split'

For example, a 1-for-2 reverse split means you get half as many shares, but at twice the price. It's usually a bad sign if a company is forced to reverse split - firms do it to make their stock look more valuable when, in fact, nothing has changed. A company may also do a reverse split to avoid being delisted.

Implementation required a voluntary, prepackaged Chapter 11 process that successfully concluded on January 30, 2012."

Mary Junck's Jan 23, 2012 letter to Share Holders and Employees.

Mary Junck to be Chairman of the AP, this is BAD News for NEWS Everywhere..

The AP takes a Story, Such as the Crystal L. Cox Blogger sued story, writes up one version of reality then sends it to ALL media outlets and the TV news who uses that same story without every looking into any of the documented facts.

Questions and Information Sent in By Reader. 
"Mary Junck has been named to lead the AP Board. Looking at the 2010 financial report for AP I find that they reported a loss of $14,722,000 for 2010.

They also ended their defined benefit pension plan for new Employees on Jan 15,2006. Further, they have engaged in aggressive staff cutting measures. IF I am reading the income tax accounting correctly (and I'm NOT sure) , the AP didn't pay income taxes in 2010 and instead collected $7,762,000 in "welfare benefits" from the taxpayers.

I also see under Long term debt they have a revolving credit line of $200M - HMM... could this be used to keep LEE Ent. going by reducing AP costs to LEE newspapers while the AP goes into debt?

Might Mary Junck be able to raid the pension plan assets of the AP to use creatively to assist LEE with on-going income requirements?"

This is Disastrous, Lee Enterprises funds corruption by printing lies, and paid by politics and big companies to cover up crimes.. in my experience.  Lee Enterprise is the Kingpin of Corruption in towns and cities across this land, in my experience.  Paid to print lies and protect corruption.

Mary Junck must RESIGN.

Davenport, Iowa (AP)*  The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Lee Enterprises Inc. Mary Junck is encouraged to resign.  Lee employees deserve a capable leader to bring the troubled newspaper company out of $1 Billion dollars debt, and encourage higher standards within the rank and file editors at Lee.  The abusive leadership of Mary Junck has driven Lee into Bankruptcy.

Mary Junck--gives new meaning to Junk,

junk newspaper standards, and product in the USA.

Mary Junck raided Lee Enterprises employees medical coverage, took bonuses to do so, then ran the company into Bankruptcy in a Delaware Court with more than $1 Billion dollars in liability.  This is not a leader who works for the benefit of her employees who worked hard to build Lee Enterprises.

Mary Junck oversees a news corporation who serially defames American citizens to make favors and get paid by local and state governments where her newspapers are located;  proof, firsthand knowledge for the State of Montana: where Lee has a monopoly for print media.

The vindictive use of power of the pen by Mary Junck's Lee have caused Americans to suffer and die, while Lee requests Bankruptcy protections for those actions.

 Citizen victims of Lee could enjoy more than 30 articles which included false arrests, publication of convictions that were not even charged, and misrepresentations of court proceedings by Lee reporters.  Mary Junck after ignoring her assistant in Davenport, as well as her Board in 2007 to stop the barrage of Lee's Media.  It did not stop.

Now most people think Lee Enterprises Sucks: www.LeeEnterprisessucks.com. due to Mary Junck.

Mary Junk as a corporation (see next post below) was too important for her employees, her readers, or even her AP board as the "retirement" of the Chairman Tom Curley was directly due to paying a favor for Mary Junck, and the abuse of the AP story process to maintaining Lee's abuse to other newspapers.

[abuse of employees for Mary Junck's gain]

Dear CEO Junk: your abuse of Lee EMPLOYEES, CUSTOMERS, ran up of a $1B in debt, and abused journalistic principles for "donations" from States, NGO's, US Senators doing their "bidding" for them.  The FBI calles this work racketeering, but should only reinforce Junk's resignation.

Newspapers are constitutionally protected to provide information, not destroy reputations.  Mary Junck is not capable of running Lee within ethical and business standards as print media.

That is disgusting, and Mary Junck needs to go.  In disgrace after the acceptance of failure.

These were Junck's problems, without a conscience, more like a corporation than a human being.  Junck needs help, and find some forgiveness and understanding in a Buddhist Temple somewhere in far east Asia.  America is too ashamed of Lee's behavior.  Let someone else with strong standards, and higher respect for Lee employees reform this disgraced company.

note: AP* stands for ALL PEOPLE.

Mary Junck is a Corporation.

One of my favorite quotes by Ralph Nader is how people are corporations diguised as a human being. Mary Junck of Lee Enterprieses is a corporation.

Mary Junck as a Corporation declaring bankruptcy in Deleware

1. Corporations such as Lee Enterprieses are people in the courts.

2. The problem is people have feelings.

3. Lee Enterprises does not have feelings for people or their employees [see Grinch story below].

4. Corporations as people are allowed to hurt real people and then be protected by courts.

5. If corporations hurt people, then people must stop corporations. [Occupy Movement].

In a US District Court for the State of Montana

9:11-cv-00064-JCL-DWM

A US Magistrate Judge on November 30, 2011 found that Lee Enterprises Inc. was liable for Defamation per Se, Negligence, Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress, Tortious Interference with Economic Advantage (intentionally damaging livelihood), and Punitive Damages.

BUT A CORPORATION CAN STOP ALL COURT ACTIONS VIA BANKRUPTCY.

A PERSON CANNOT.

I THOUGHT CORPORATIONS WERE CONSIDERED PERSONS....?

The corporation known as Mary Junck is going bankrupt, and was voted a grinch in 2008:

Mary Junck nominated for Grinch of the Year!

Instead of sending out a nice holiday greeting to all those who had spent their lifetimes building a company for which they could be proud – and she could plunder – Mary Junck’s corporation sent a nice little notice: We’re canceling your free health care.
Editors Note* In June of this year, when their stock price had already been chopped in half, Lee Enterprises awarded CEO Mary Junck a 17.8% increase in pay, to about $3.4 million.
So, for pocketing more and more cash by raiding the health care plans of retired workers and by outsourcing P-D worker’s jobs to India this year, Mary Junck has been nominated for the 2008 Missouri Jobs with Justice’s GRINCH OF THE YEAR!

When reached at her home, Mary became quite excited and started jumping up and down (no she didn’t). She stated that she wanted to “thank all the little people” for making her nomination possible and said that it had long been a dream of hers to win the prestigious award (um…I made that up).
The JwJ Grinch of the Year is chosen by voting – online and at the annual Grinch party. The event is attended by members of the many organizations that comprise JwJ. Our local has purchased two tables for this year and, if you wish to attend, give us a call at 314-241-7046. To learn more (or to vote) click on:

Voting costs (one dollar per vote) and everyone is encouraged to vote as often as they like.

A person can lose their livelihood, Mary Junck can lose 11% of her company from Bankruptcy.

I'll take it.

Note to Lee Enterprises creditors: dont let this "corporation" out of bankruptcy.  With more than a BILLION dollars in debt, that kind of irresponsibiity should not be rewarded.  That, and REAL people dont read corporate newspapers, or listen to any form of corporate media anymore.

Happy Holidays Lee Enterprises & Mary Junck !

Davenport, IA--Lee Enterprises a print media company has evaded the axe from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Two warnings have been issued to Lee Enterprises, but apparently the company, which publishes nearly 50 dailies in 23 states, and 300 weekly circulars is getting special treatment.

Update: Mary Junck's Lee files Form 8-K, gets continued listing on NYSE; stock price falls to $.62.

Mary Junck-- Lee Enterprises CEO            

no pun intended (her corporation, her papers are junk)                

Does it surprise anyone that Marry Junck, CEO of Lee Entrprises based in Davenport Iowa sits on the Associated Press board of directors as vice chair? Is that giving Mary Junck's company special favors in the NYSE listings?  Most companies who cant get their stock price up after 6 months are taken off of the Exchange in New York (NYSE).

Lee Enterprises spends an additional $27M per year towards interest just to pay off their $1B debt, and TRY to stay in business.   It's unclear if the financing deal is complete, but it did not help Lee's stock price rise above the $1 minimum price. Lee Enterprises convinces Seeking Alpha (an online trading/consultant firm) to make Lee a "good buy"; special press in the Wall Street Journal. The bottom line is that Lee cannot keep their stock above minimum trade value.  Why should Mary Junck and Lee Enterpriese get any special favors that other fortune 500, or other publically listed firm get?

We wrote an article about Lee getting its stock price up:
http://www.leeenterprisessucks.com/2011/09/lee-needs-viagra.html

An interesting group of people are meeting up, and assembling in public. They are occupying America. Corporations like Lee Enterprises do more to spread propaganda than help the people. Special favors from Wall Street indicate a boycott on Lee Enterprises newspapers are called for.

One of Lee's victims also assembled in public and was subject to 30 Lee Enterprises articles at the 6 outlets in the state, at least 2 AP stories.  Is Mary Junck the connection to the AP stories?  Well, we made some clarity on their confusion about peaceful assembly, which forced a resignation of a publisher; Stacey Mueller of the Missoula Montana paper The Missoulian:
