Jason Binn Has a Reason to Celebrate, As If He Couldn’t Manufacture One if Need Be

How David Carr’s Jason Binn news peg – that the Gotham and Hamptons magazines publisher was selling his company (to himself, sort of) to create a national luxury media conglom – turned into an article about Binn’s prowess to bring influencers together in a list that includes Carr is, well, moderately disturbing. But with lines like “his naked worship of the rich and famous makes Robin Leach seem demure,” we’ll forgive and forget.

So congrats, Jason: As a former Niche Media intern, we’ve seen your magic in full effect. And congrats, Carr: Once you’ve made it into Binn’s society pages, you’re a somebody. And we should know. We used to help manufacture “The List,” the magazine’s much-ogled roster of names of significance. How our family members ended up on there, well, we’re blaming an editing error.

ISN’T JASON BINN… a fudgepacker???
YES HE IS…. but didn’t he mysteriously get married and have kids?? I believe so… in order to attempt to give himself a better image… and wasn’t his father a used car hustler??? or something like that….???
JASON BINN is truly one of the most dishonest and disgusting fudgepackers around.. in my opinion.. and I have had the unpleasant pleasure of meeting and dealing in business with him… so I have direct experience and evidence of his dishonest business practices… and JOSSIP… if you were involved with that HAMPTONS RAG MAGAZINE… and the STUPID… LIST thing…. I feel sorry for you…. but .. at least you moved on… PLEASE DON’T STOOP TO PATRONIZE JASON BINN… OR PLUG THAT FUDGE PACKER….it really cheapens your site.
TRUTH…. please truth…
