State Rep Donato OUTRAGED when Muccini-Burke was censored in 2007 by TV3 and that disgusting "Dr. Rabies" - Art Deluca

Donato contacted TV3 Board of Directors member and former state representative Anthony Giglio, who sponsored the program. After a round of who did what, Donato was finally told that one of the producers was offended by a question one of the panelists had asked Councilor Stephanie Muccini Burke about Channel 3.
“My reaction to that was this is a man (Arthur Alan DeLuca, the jamoke wyho pulled the DVD to censor Mrs. Muccini Burke back in 2007) who doesn’t understand the First Amendment,” Donato said. “This is free speech. It’s the public’s right to listen to political speech. It’s the most protected right. I was just flabbergasted.”
Donato said this is the second time TV3 has decided not to run a program which he sent in, the first being a mock legislative session at the State House this past summer. But this time, Donato said he had enough.
“I didn’t want to get involved with what was going on over there,” he said of TV3. “But then I decided it was time for someone to stand up and tell them, for the good of the community, that it’s time for them to get their act together or get a new board of people who know what public access is all about.”
