About 50 demonstrators gathered in front of The Great Neck Record’s offices on Cutter Mill Road in Great Neck, on Sunday morning, April 28, 2013, to protest what they claimed was the paper’s decades of slanted coverage and left wing propaganda. The Record is a weekly that covers events in Great Neck. The catalyst for the rally was what organizer Jeffrey Wiesenfeld, a Great Neck resident and Manhattan business executive, as well as the president of the Israel Independence Fund, called “the disgraceful false reporting” of the Anton Newspaper chain’s GN Record, and its editor, Wendy Kreitzman, of activist and blogger Pamela Geller’s appearance at the Great Neck Chabad on April 14. Wiesenfeld organized the protest with Dr. Paul Brody. “It is one thing for a newspaper to have an editorial point of view that I find abhorrent,” said Weisenfeld, “ bad enough, but perfectly American. It is not permissible to ignore reality and publish a false accounting of a widely-attended event the way the GN Record did – while photos in other publications prove the exact opposite of your statements…speaking of “sparse attendance” and the like.”
