To Social Media Investigators and Haters: You Got The Wrong Guy

MANALAPAN, NJ (MONMOUTH)–On April 10, 2020 MidJersey.news brought you a story about a company who was allegedly price gouging New York City for N95 masks made by the 3M Company. Since that time Internet sleuths, haters, arm chair quarterbacks and social media trouble makers took out their hate on a business in the same town with a similar sounding name.

For all the haters you are accusing the wrong business, if you Google Performance Supply Manalapan you get a similar sounding company https://www.performancescreen.com/ (note this is the good guy) Performance Screen Supply
600 Park Ave
Suite 100
Manalapan, NJ 07726


As accurately reported by Midjersey.news here is the company involved in the lawsuit from the April 10, 2020 story:

3M Files Lawsuit Alleging N95 Price Gouging in New York City Against Performance Supply, A Manalapan, New Jersey Company

From 3M’s 26 page lawsuit:

“On information and belief, Defendant Performance Supply, LLC is a New Jersey
limited liability company, with a principal place of business at Westbrook Way, Manalapan,
New Jersey 07726.” —-Note MidJersey.news removed the house number from the location.


People are assuming that if you just “Google” a name and it comes out similar it has to be the same business or person. They are wrong and need to do their fact checking from a number of sources not just “Google”

After I posted the story to Facebook and defended the accuracy of the MidJersey.news story of the name of the business on the “Monmouth County News” Facebook Group I received this message from Bob the owner of Performance Screen Supply of Manalapan:

As a news person you want to have your facts before posting and I was accused of being inaccurate by posters on the “Monmouth County News” Facebook group.

One poster has since removed the posts where I defended the name of the business because it sounded different with different addresses. After a lengthy debate where that person was getting information and I wanted to know the references I was told to just “Google it” I told the person in one post that if you can’t back your sources you are peddling “fake news” and asked again for more facts. I was then told that the poster did not have time so “Google”

MidJersey.news is committed to factual, accurate reporting and does not pedal Fake News.
