A FRESH START MEANS BYE BYE TO THE OLD CRONIES, THAT MEANS YOU STEVEN BERTORELLI

162,622 ALL-TIME HITS!



PETER FINCH!
But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

MCC TV3 has shut down!  We, the citizens who fought this good fight, had to explain to the Steve Bertorelli types, the Carl Galusi individuals, the Paul Gerety types, that it wasn't all about them.  They thought it was THEIR channel, not our channel.  When did you ever see Steve Bertorelli go up to the City Council and fight for the rights of other citizens?

While we did the heavy lifting, Mr. Bertorelli and Mr. Galusi just kept doing their show, denigrating those of us who actually helped other citizens get on access TV, taking advantage of the "fiasco" (thank you, Adam, great word!) for themselves and nobody else.

Bertorelli showed up at RCTV today dressed like a hobo.  It was disgraceful.  While the rest of the Medford crew took time to get nicely dressed, bring business cards, behave professionally, the old remnant of the old regime looked like he didn't give a damn about the image he projected.    Didn't City Hall tell us we could have a "fresh start?"

Remember when 
Katherine Ann Power was behind the wheel of one of the two getaway vehicles when Boston  police officer Walter Schroeder was shot and killed. Power remained at large for 23 years.

Just because Power didn't pull the trigger didn't mean she wasn't guilty.  The Cable TV Committee can't just "absolve" some of the individuals who engaged in censorship., Ever try calling the "Ziggy Bush Show" hosted by Carl Galusi and produced by Bertorelli?  They censored people. There was no free speech whatsoever and Bertorelli and Galusi never fought for the residents that were not allowed to have their say.  Betorelli was the Katherine Ann Power driving the getaway car while Galusi and Gerety were board members who served themselves, not the public.  Do we really need the temperamental individuals who wrecked access TV to come crawling back out and trying to sabotage it before we even get it off of the ground?

Having Mr. Bertorelli show up looking like a slob, not ready for prime time, did a great injustice to the building of the new Medford TV station. Bertorelli adds nothing to the conversation, is in it for himself - not others - and has not fought for YOUR right to be on television as many of us have.
 
The insiders club is over, and those disgraced insiders of the old "fiasco" are not welcome at our new station.  We have to start with a clean slate, and the grumpy Bertorelli, Galusi and Gerety will only scare away the community that has flocked to Winchester and other stations to produce TV and be on TV without being haunted by the ghosts of Christmas past.
