      To those of us passionate about public media, access television, I have 3-4 videos of the third meeting of Mayor Burke's Cable Advisory Board Thursday evening 6:04 pm - 7:05 pm.

      Jay Campbell seems like a nice enough guy, I like Gabby Follett Sumney and Yvette Wilks, but the basic question is, with no access TV station in Medford and cable TV subscribers paying a franchise fee, is this current Advisory tribunal doing what needs to be done?

      The answer is NO.    

      Look, I like Allison Goldsberry and Fred Laskey of Mayor McGlynn's tribunal too.  Good people.  But when I commented on their tribunal that it wasn't going to make a bit of difference, please play the alleged Michael Marks sounbite from the last Cable Advisory meeting "Joe Vig was right."   Mr. Laskey and Ms Goldsberry were blindsided by Mike McGlynn who simply put the cable TV station at the high school.  That was McGlynn's plan all along...and you wonder why Judge Fitzpatrick called me "intelligent" prior to my beating the good for nothing Council President in a court of law (Rick Caraviello)  and Judge LaMothe calling me "very logical" when I defeated TV 3 in open court, without an attorney!

      The logical mind can see the mayor (McGlynn, not Burke) pulling the puppet strings, hey Fred Laskey - dance this way, hey Stephanie, just float in the air, I'll pull the strings for you" - it's such a fiasco, it's so transparent, about the only damn thing transparent about this city.

      Yvette asked me if I planned on doing a show.  HA...not with that monstrosity of a Mark Rumley concoction designed to stifle free speech.
      Ms. Wilks, my good good friend, is pretty good at censorship as well, boy does she like to interrupt the only person out of 60,000 in this city who cared to even show up to their echo chamber.

      Jay Campbell needs to take a course in running a board meeting.  He moves on to a topic and Gabby reminds him that they need to take a vote. That's when he's not, aww shucks isn't this great, I'm so excited, this is so cool...blah blah blah. Stop it already, Jay.  You sound like a five year old kissing the derriere of Mayor Burke who makes you - what - ??? - the chair of this dog and pony show?

      And that's what it is  A grand waste of time.  The big topic tonight was separating the phone line from Krissy Fraser's line to a station phone line.  What?  No resurrecting the old MCC TV3 number?    It was like the darn Paris Peace Accords, for those of you old enough to remember - Wikipedia: A similar debate concerned the shape of the table to be used at the conference. The North favored a circular table, in which all parties, including NLF representatives, would appear to be "equal"' in importance. The South Vietnamese argued that only a rectangular table was acceptable, for only a rectangle could show two distinct sides to the conflict. Eventually a compromise was reached, in which representatives of the northern and southern governments would sit at a circular table, with members representing all other parties sitting at individual square tables around them."

      That's Medford Public Access TV - the Paris Peace Accords...you only need Ron Cox - E.D. from Malden Access TV barging in dressed as "Obi Ron Kenobi" to get some attention for himself, and Somerville Board member Joe Lynch who told me how much he admires sexual aspects of the mayor of Somerville, Joe Curtatone.    Fine if you are on free speech radio, not so fine if you are a board member at Somerville Media Center where little children run around during the day, Morgan Freeman, or is it Harvey Weinstein, Brian McGrory, take your pick these days.

      Yvette Wilks, on the board of Somerville Media Center, where her fellow board member Joseph Lynch made a sexually charged comment to another homosexual male about Mr. Lynch's alleged lusting for Mayor Curtatone, this is the state of access television in 2018, with Verizon and Comcast looming on the horizon, drooling to take away the franchise fee.   It's a damn mess, Obi Ron Kenobi!   No wonder I went to see Han Solo : A Star Wars Story (well, SOLO: A Star Wars Story) on Tuesday night...nothing like the real thing, baby.

      Back to the Paris Peace Accords and Jay Campbell and Yvette and Gabby wondering what phones they will put on the rectangular or circular tables to appease North and South Viet Nam.  With me in there filming they must've thought the Viet Cong is Back in Town (sing to Thin Lizzy's The Boys Are Back in Town, my late girlfriend knew them well, but I digress...Thin Lizzy that is, not the Viet Cong, but maybe she knew them too...)

      My e mails are funnier and more entertaining than anything you will see on the Michael Marks show, unless, of course, he has Paul Donato as a guest, but again I digress.

      The telephones.  I suggested that maybe along with the new phone lines they should think of one for the studio so I can talk to Jodie Foster and Joe Perry without my cellphone.... GOLLY GEE you can see Jay Campbell thinking, what a great idea.

      Duh, is the Mayor that spiteful and hateful of public media that she forces a nitwit on us like Mr. Campbell, who announces he's going to do his own show.  Hope he does it on real estate, Paul Gerety, so that I can file a complaint on his license for conflict of interest....really, forget Obie Ron Kenobi, it's Obie Won Campbell, the new public access star.   He's doing it to test the waters "for the children."

      Oh, puh-leeze, more self-absorbed people in a position of power abusing their power like former self-appointed president Frank Pilleri of MCC TV3 on Steroids.  With a capital S!

      Has it really come down to this, Mayor Burke?

      JAY CAMPBELL PRETTY MUCH ADMITS HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING
      The admission to me, and it should be on the tape, that this board is learning by doing, especially Jay Campbell's confession that he's in the dark and that he had to "fill out the form" (the agreement with volunteer producers) to know the process (guess someone hijacked his reading glasses) speaks volumes about Mayor Burke's CONTEMPT for access television.    

      Tonight's meeting will not push Medford access forward, and go to the tapes, I'm pretty sure that I made it clear they are pushing Medford Access BACKWARD, if that is even possible!

      Thursday 6 pm Room 201 Cable Advisory Meeting Cable Advisory Board meeting
      http://www.medfordma.org/mayor/city-events/ When Thu, May 24, 6pm – 7pm Where Room 201, Medford City Hall,

      My company, a business registered at City Hall, Community Media Medford, could have had access up and running in 2005 when I applied for the job of station manager.  13 years later you can play the alleged Michael Marks soundbite: JOE VIG WAS RIGHT

      Damn straight I was - and certainly am, Michael.  So when are you and Mr. Donato going to install me as the new Executive Director and get the ship sailing in the right direction?

      Yvette, Darling, take care of business in Somerville...it's a mess over there too.  See you at the Somerville Board meeting...and see you next week when I will give a new report to the Medford Cable Advisory Board...oh my God...Stephanie, what the hell were you thinking?  Oh, that's right...you weren't

      RESPECTFULLY! Submitted!!!!!!

      Joe Viglione  
      self-appointed president of Mark E. Rumley fan club 
      the big joke on Mr. Rumley is that he has no other fans...kind of like Mayor Burke's Cable Advisory Committee with no one else in the room except for me and my camera!!!!!
