Linda Gosden Robinson - the only Media Spy on the New York A List?

Last week we brought you the story about communication and spy firm Robinson, Lerer & Montogomery, led by Bristol-Myers Squibb chairman's wife, Linda Robinson, which was hired by Pfizer to monitor me.

I also revealed that this firm had monitored other journalists, such as former Brandweek reporter Jim Edwards.

So we thought it was time to present Linda Gosden Robinson, wife of Bristol-Myers Squibb chairman Mr. James D. Robinson III.

It turns out she is a well connected woman, with ties to many political candidates, and anyone - like me- should be honored to be monitored by her.

Here are her past and current professional connections. Solid lines are current, dotted lines are past connections (not that we think those names aren't still in her Rolodex):

Turns out that Linda was deputy press secetary for the 1980 Ronald Reagan presidential campaign and that she was PR director for the Republican National Committee.

Today she is listed as:

BlackRock, Inc. - director of
Revlon Inc. - director of
Robinson Lerer and Montgomery - chair & CEO of
Young & Rubicam Inc. - chair & CEO of

And guess who else is doing some research on Robinson, Lerer & Montgomery?

The New York Times!

In 1993, this is is how Linda Gosden Robinson was described in Georgia Tech Alumni magazine:

Robinson and his second wife, Republican Party activist and public-relations executive Linda Gosden, were decidedly on New York society's "A" list. They counted among their friends--and Robinson's and those of AmEx board of directors colleagues--Henry Kissinger, opera star Beverly Sills, Urban League director Vernon Jordan and former President Gerald Ford. Jim Robinson was hardly out of place in such rarefied company. His voice carries a reserved, patrician air. He speaks in the confident, but measured cadence of diplomats and successful executives. The Robinsons were trendy, attractive, successful-- everything coveted in New York's penthouses and board rooms.

To imagine that this well-connected woman has now sunken so low that she overseas an enterprise spying on journalists is rather sad . . .

As you can see, being associated with Pfizer is enough to take anyone off the "A" list

As far as I can tell this does not fix the categories menu issue. When clicking on the categories menu links it just directs you back to the home page.
