Bill Pierce, one of the victims of the latest freelance swath, said he actually stopped writing months ago – because he wasn’t getting paid on time.
“I was owed for last January and June’s submissions and was not paid for them until late September,” Pierce emailed Hoffman.
“I certainly understand that you are ‘navigating an increasingly difficult economy and a changing industry,’” he told Hoffman, according to a copy of the email shared with the Maine Wire. “However, many of your once abundant and loyal customers have not left just because their budgets got tighter or that they would not shift to the digital format.”
The reality, he argued, is that the lead publications “have become nothing more than left-wing newsletters.
“The bias has not been contained to the editorial section but has run amok in the editing that does not include some of the numerous misadventures of our current leadership in Augusta,” Pierce added.
In 2023, the National Trust for Local News acquired the Portland Press Herald and other papers then-owned by Reade Brower and Maine Today Media, including the Lewiston Sun Journal, the Brunswick Time Record, the Kennebec Journal, and the Waterville Morning Sentinel.
At the time, publisher Lisa DeSisto said, and Press Herald Report Rachel Ohm relayed, that the National Trust for Local News would reveal who funded the purchase of Maine’s largest newspapers.
However, that never happened.
Instead, it fell to a journalist from Semafor to reveal that billionaire left-wing mega donors George Soros and Hansjorg Wyss, a Swiss national, were behind the purchase.

What is happening in Maine regarding the Media takeover, by Soros, etc., has already taken place in Russia. The mainers who are co-operating with these heinous folks essentially are self-serving traitors
Soros, Berezovsky, Gudinski, and a few other oligarchs, bought almost all of the Media in Russia to brainwash the Russian people, during the turbulent, chaotic Gorbachev/Yeltsin era of the 1990s. Their objective was to take over the Presidency of Russia and its natural resources and sell those resources to the West. Yeltsin prevented this by selecting Putin as his acting Prime Minister on August 9, 1999 (confirmed on 16 August, 1999).
Yeltsin resigned at the end of 1999, and appointed Putin as acting President, because Putin was neither a Communist, nor in league with the Oligarchs. He told Putin “You must save Russia”. Putin, a true Patriot, was overwhelmingly elected President in March 2000.
One of his first acts was to tell all oligarchs they could keep their $billions, but had to stay out politics. In a meeting, he made 18 of them sign a document. It was recorded on a video. Then the oligarchs began to slime Putin using their Media, even trying to kill him several times, but the People retaliated by overwhelmingly supporting Putin for decades.
After Putin became President, Russia, in existential mode, did not cave, but like a Phoenix, rose from the 1990s ashes, much to the dismay of the hubristic, Russophobic, neo-cons in the West, such as mouthpiece McCain, who had disdainfully portrayed Russia as a “gas station”.
