Someone just put him on blast on ruthlessreviews.com.

It's a bit long, but worth the read for a good laugh.

quote:

Every village has an idiot, but usually that idiot doesn’t own a television station. My village is very special. The local channel that serves my community is owned by one of the most buffoonish men to reside south of I-10. Citizens of my community are regularly given front row seats to witch hunts orchestrated by a man I would characterize as Geraldo crossed with Glen Beck.


quote:

Meet Martin Folse, the king of HTV. His latest blunder happened last week when he took to the airwaves saying that a clerk at a local convenience store called all veterans assholes. Martin then went on to explain that this store was owned by middle easterners, and that every dime spent there was being funneled to terrorists across the globe.


quote:

It turns out that the store wasn’t owned by middle easterners at all. It’s owned by a Vietnamese man who came here when he was four years old because his family was fighting communism. The clerk is actually from Nepal, which makes him Asian even though he is brown. He says he never called all veterans assholes. He didn’t even know what a veteran was until recently, as there is no word for veteran in Nepalese.


I find the whole situation hilarious; talk about karma. What are the chances HTV survives this?

I'm from Houma and recently visited there and heard about this.

I've met the guy personally and he is a self centered idiot. Very fortunate to have had the success he has had.

Well HTV isn't TMZ so I doubt this destroys Martin. He's been around forever. This will pass as soon as shrimp season or carnival season starts.

Well, to be fair, there are mid eastern guys who do just that. A biz partner ins company with me is from Lebanon. He lives America and is one of the good Christians from there.

He knows another guy from there who owns over 30 convenience stores in the Philly area and has been here over 20 yrs. He sends hundreds of thousands back to his relatives each year to help support groups like Al-Qaida. He absolutely hates Americans. It's so ironic, because America and Americans are the only thing that makes his life possible.

So, although your guy may have wrongly labelled this guy, he is correct that the activity goes on regularly.

I'm sure it does go on. But you can't go on your public broadcast and tell people that all of those stores are funding terrorists that will one day kill us and claim "facts verified". Especially, when the facts in this case weren't verified nor did he attempt to verify them. Is this not a case of slander?

Who bbq's anything for breakfast.
Egg white on wheat maybe.

This guy is telling it like it is, and some people are getting offended.
Unreal.

This was the biggest crock of shite last week. Martin Folse tried to paint a Vietnamese guy as a middle eastern terrorist. He got a bunch of biker gang types to protest in front of the guy's store. It could ruin his business. Over a total bullshite lie. Martin Folse should lose his FCC liscence over this, and get the shot sued out of him for libel. If you were one of the morons duped by this a-hole, you should be ashamed of yourself. I went out of my way to go spend money at the poor guy's store because of this.
