Hudpost Lies: Politically Bought Media
The HudPost ‘s Smear Job on Leroy Truth a.ka., Leonard Filipowski, Is a Blatant Manipulation
The HudPost article targeting Leroy Truth a.ka., Leonard Filipowski, is not just misleading—it’s a calculated, agenda-driven attack aimed at discrediting him. The article falsely claims that he is not listed or credited on Grammy-winning albums, when in fact, Leonard Filipowski is clearly credited as a composer, lyricist, and pianist on multiple Grammy Award-winning albums by Jimmy Sturr and His Orchestra.
This intentional deception coincides with efforts by Brian P. Stack —Union City’s mayor, state senator, and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee—to suppress any opposition to his political machine. This isn’t about music or journalistic integrity; it’s a politically motivated hit job against investigative journalist Leroy Truth for investigating and exposing Mayor and Senator Brian Stack’s corruption!.
Exposing HudPost’s Deception and Political Motivations
- They Claim He Wasn’t Credited—That’s a Flat-Out Lie
The HudPost article falsely asserts that Leonard Filipowski isn’t listed on any Grammy-winning albums.
Fact:
✅ Leonard Filipowski is officially credited on multiple Grammy-winning albums.
Example:
He composed and wrote the lyrics for the title track of I Love to Polka (1995), which won the Grammy for Best Polka Album in 1996.
This is an indisputable fact that HudPost conveniently ignores to maintain their narrative.
- They Omit His Contributions as a Pianist
The HudPost article deliberately omits that Leonard Filipowski is a credited pianist on multiple Grammy-winning albums.
Example:
He performed on Polka! All Night Long (1996), which won a Grammy in 1997.
His piano playing was integral to the album’s success, a fact that undermines HudPost’s smear campaign.
And here’s a fun fact they won’t tell you—during Leonard Filipowski’s piano solos on that very album, country music legend Willie Nelson lent his iconic vocals to the project. Yet another inconvenient truth HudPost chose to ignore.
- They’re Not Reporting—They’re Running a Political Smear Campaign Against Leroy Truth
The article’s goal is to discredit Leroy Truth, an outspoken critic of Brian Stack and his political machine.
HudPost references Mayor Nick Sacco—a completely unrelated political figure—revealing their true agenda.
They use loaded language, selective omission, and falsehoods to create a misleading narrative.
Instead of presenting facts, they rely on misinformation to discredit Leroy Truth.
This clearly demonstrates that Brian Stack and his allies fear independent voices exposing their corrupt actions.
- The Ironic Attack on Leroy Truth as an ‘Investigative Journalist’
HudPost sarcastically refers to Leroy Truth as an “investigative journalist” while engaging in poor journalistic practices themselves.
A real journalist checks facts; HudPost didn’t.
A real journalist presents all sides of a story; HudPost didn’t.
They merely echo the agenda of the political establishment, acting as a mouthpiece for Brian Stack’s machine.
- They Exploit the Public’s Lack of Understanding About Grammy Awards
HudPost falsely assumes that only the bandleader receives Grammy recognition.
Fact:
✅ The Best Polka Album Grammy is awarded to the bandleader, but the album is a collaborative effort.
✅ Composers, lyricists, and musicians—like Leonard Filipowski—play crucial roles in Grammy-winning albums.
Example:
Leonard Filipowski wrote the title track of a Grammy-winning album, making his work fundamental to the album’s success.
HudPost ignores this reality because it doesn’t fit their dishonest narrative.
- They Claim to Have Spoken to ‘The Grammys’—But Who?
HudPost vaguely claims they spoke to someone “at the Grammys” without naming their source.
Why is that important?
If they had an official statement, why didn’t they name the person or department?
Who at The Recording Academy allegedly said this? A spokesperson, a random intern, or no one at all?
No credible journalist leaves a claim like this unverified—so why did HudPost?
This is a classic propaganda tactic—appealing to authority without proof.
- Grammy.com Confirms the Grammy Award Was for Jimmy Sturr AND His Orchestra
HudPost misleads readers into thinking the Grammy was only awarded to Jimmy Sturr personally, which is incorrect.
Fact:
✅ Grammy.com lists “Jimmy Sturr and His Orchestra” as the Grammy recipient.
✅ The orchestra won the Grammy for their albums.
✅ Leonard Filipowski was a pianist, composer, and lyricist for that orchestra on Grammy-winning albums.
If Jimmy Sturr AND His Orchestra won, and Leonard Filipowski was part of that orchestra, HudPost’s claim is unjustifiable.
HudPost’s Article Is Not Journalism—It’s Political Propaganda
A real journalist presents all the facts. HudPost refuses to do this.
If they were honest, they would acknowledge:
✅ Leonard Filipowski was a composer and lyricist on Grammy-winning albums.
✅ Leonard Filipowski was a pianist on Grammy-winning albums.
✅ Leonard Filipowski’s contributions helped those albums win Grammys.
But HudPost won’t admit the truth—because their goal isn’t truth; it’s protecting Brian Stack’s political empire and silencing critics like Leroy Truth.
Final Word: The HudPost Must Be Exposed and Held Accountable
📌 The HudPost deliberately published false information to attack Leroy Truth—a clear indication that this is a politically motivated hit piece.
📌 Their claims are provably false.
📌 Their article is nothing more than a manipulative attack piece.
📌 Their journalistic integrity is nonexistent.
The only fraud here is HudPost’s dishonest reporting.
It’s time to call them out for their blatant lies. Leonard Filipowski’s contributions are real, documented, and undeniable—and no amount of HudPost’s and Brian Stack’s political propaganda will change that.
