When is a story Factual or the writer's Fantasy

 Hi Folks, today I am writing this post from my Wilton Bureau.  Reading a blogger and expecting facts or fantasy are two things that most of the time you have to check out for yourself, if you want to know the truth.

Well a local blogger (who we will refer to as "The Unknown Blogger" is up to it again.  Here is a post of his that might make you think of the title of our post today.

I'll use some quote's from his post and then add what news I gathered.

" Neathway herself has been in the news lately. She is currently jailed on stalking and extortion charges filed by Yankees GM Brian Cashman. Now Neathway has some accusations of her own. According to the New York Daily News, Neathway, claims she was pregnant with Cashman’s baby. She goes on to claim Cashman was so unnerved by the pregnancy he acquired a phony ID for her identification to use so she could abort his child"

"What the Daily news isn’t reporting and what is this bloggers exclusive there is a steroid connection in all this."  To this I say ?????
"Some people believe that Neathway was targeted because they are trying to protect the Yankees. Some people believe Cashman knew that the Yankee players were using steroids and that he, basically, lied to the Feds during the investigation of Roger Clemens. One source has told me Neathway had first hand knowledge of his perjured testimony...."

Well, that's a lot of words that mean nothing.  There is no where in the Clemens trial or news, or even gossip, other that from the Red Sox Nation that Cashman perjured himself in that trial.

The blogger went on to give his opinion (not from the Daily News) that "What is known is Cashman, did have an affair with Neathway. That also explains how she afforded her $5,000 a month rent in Tribeca. Cashman’s wife also filed for divorce after her husband’s affair became public. And Neathway is still rotting in a Rikers Island jail held on a ridiculously high bond of $300,000."

Well what is true is that Cashman did have a brief affair with Neathway and yes his wife did leave him over this affair but this is how the Daily News reported the bloggers insinuation of the payment of $5,000.00 a month for rent in Tribeca, when she only extorted $6,000.00.  She must live in a shoe box.

From the Daily news,"Neathway extorted $6,000 in hush money from Cashman over their romance, and tried later to shake him down for another $15,000, authorities charge." "By the end of last year — and after the abortion — the relationship “had no future,” Neathway said." "While Neathway presented herself as the victim, prosecutors asserted that she tried to manipulate Cashman by claiming that she attempted suicide after the two had a one-night stand" "Thirteen people have filed for restraining orders against Neathway since 1998. The suspect has been held at Rikers Island on $200,000 bond since her Feb. 1 arrest."
    So blogger, when you say “Like I said folks you just can’t make the shit up."

  I would say you just did.
