But how did the group connect Barber to the insurance company? It turns out one site that posted the column, MensNewsDaily.com, added to the bio line on the article the fact that Barber worked for Allstate. Barber says he did not include that fact in the original column submission but that the site "disclosed that without my knowledge or consent."
Again, they included his employment information. Big mistake.
If Matt objected to it, they would have removed it right away. They wouldn't have known who he worked for if he had not told them.
