Leave it to Beaver meets Perry Mason

Too funny,

MeTV Leave it to Beaver is on...I'm writing this blog, and suddenly the music is dramatic and some woman is trying to play the races...and hire Perry Mason for $27.00...while Beaver owed the record company over $17.00...

Why don't they merge the two shows!

Now THAT would be interesting...

We're Doing Patrick Gorgon's Job for Him At the All-New (NOT!) TV3 Medford

He's Big Steve Marra Only Half as Fat!

we are the Mad Magazine of Medford Politics

NOTICE THE VIDEO VIEWS HAVE SPIKED SINCE WE POSTED THEM.

NO ONE KNEW WHERE TO FIND THEM UNDER PATRICK, THE GORGON!

"You Won. You Won...and the City is better off for it"   Damn straight, JJ McLean and if you did your job we'd be producing access TV and not having to expose the (you know what word I want to use... eight letters, begins with C and ends in L) ...let's just say "expose the wrongful conduct" that destroyed, and still is destroying, community media in Medford, Massachusetts...

We are getting the records.

J.J. and Rumley were obligated to get those records.


But they didn't.


We're doing their job for them as well as Pat Gorgon's job.


Terrible that they loathe free speech so much.

And speaking of so much...so much for the oath of office!

Shame on them all!

Is Patrick Gordon the "Eddie Haskell" of Public Access Television

1,531,894 @ 8:50 am
455 since 7 pm last night

Eddie Haskell of Leave it to Beaver...
Wikipedia calls Haskell a "sycophant" ...

Eddie wouldn't be a model to their children but someone to show what not to do. Even today, the term "Eddie Haskell" is known to refer to an insincere flatterer or a sycophant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Osmond

Sucking up to a dolt like Stephanie Muccini-Burke is NOT public access television.

Gordon cares only about P/E/G-funded paychecks going into his pocket and not the community.


Poor Joe Forch has lost his marbles supporting someone as anti-community, anti-access television as refugee from Malden Access TV.

It could be worse, I guess...Gordon could be driving around people's homes honking his horn and irritating neighborhoods like a juvenile delinquent the fraud board of the now defunct TV3 enabled, or hunchback Art Deluca giving him photos of a meat cleaver to put over photos of his victim's heads...


That creepy, violent stuff actually happened.

So what now?  We're stuck with Pat Gorgon...I mean Gordon?



Gorgon
[ˈɡôrɡən]
NOUN

greek mythology

  1. each of three sisters, Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa, with snakes for hair, who had the power to turn anyone who looked at them to stone. And you know this is part of our new parody series that some whack job "money manager" will put on his unprofessional business page...Ronnie as Stheno, Harvey as Euryale, and foot-stomping crybaby as the white-haired Medusa!
    • a fierce, frightening, or repulsive woman.   Addy it all up, Mrs. DiPaola and you'd need 12 years of
    • harassment protection orders in total! on all of them! Including the hunchback crackpot!
    •  ...on that note, it is Friday, time to take out the trash, Patrick!
    • Post photo of upside down Gorgon in trash barrel here - time for a real TV station in Medford.


Patrick Gorgon Biography

found on the web

Gorgon

In Greek mythology, a Gorgon is a mythical creature portrayed in ancient literature. While descriptions of Gorgons vary and occur in the earliest examples of Greek literature, the term commonly refers to any of three sisters who had hair made of living, venomous snakes, as well as a horrifying visage that turned those who beheld her to stone. Traditionally, while two of the Gorgons were immortal, Stheno and Euryale, their sister Medusa was not and she was slain by the demigod and hero Perseus.


THAT'S RIGHT, MR. FORTUNATO...
HAVING PAT GORGON RUIN ACCESS TV AND PRAISING 
HIM FOR THAT IS PURE MYTHOLOGY

MR. FORTCH WAS ALSO EXCLUDED FROM TV3, AS

LEGEND HAS IT, WHEN PURPORTEDLY BEN BROWN

ALLEGEDLY WAS NOT AS SUPPORTIVE AS HE COULD

BE.

SO ...IT SEEMS TO BE ABOUT WHAT ONE PERSON

CAN GET OUT OF MEDFORD COMMUNIST MEDIA

AS OPPOSED TO WHAT IS GOOD FOR ALL OF US!

MCC TV3 INFORMATION SOON !

1,531,439 @ 7:06 pm 
THE DAY OF RECKONING FOR TV3
 IS VERY SOON...




Jan 30 at 6:03 PM

Dear Mr. Viglione:

Please be advised that our Non-Profit Organizations/
Public Charities Division (NPCD) is redacting the records 
that the Attorney General’s Office offered to provide to you.

As we previously stated in our January 14, 2020 letter – 
this process requires some time because these are financial records 
that contain information that we are required by law to remove.

The Public Records Officer in NPCD, 
A xxxxxxxx, will contact you as soon as she 
has an update as to when you can 
expect to receive these records. 


Bringing TV3 to JUSTICE

Remember, the AG's Office

told us that they COULDN'T
give us these records as
"law enforcement could be
impeded."

So much for Art Deluca's malarkey
that they got a clean bill of health.

Law Enforcement COULD BE
IMPEDED and Clean Bill of Health
diametrically opposed, of course.

Negligent Sloppy Work at MCM 
Poor Work Ethic
Another BAD station manager

School Committee from 12/9/19 posted around today or yesterday, 1/30/2020 Stephanie Muccini-Burke chair. What the heck? A month and a half later? We need professionalism at the TV station https://medford.vod.castus.tv/vod/?fbclid=IwAR3ZRKJoR-cuG-kOgpDeXhpHZ1S0JnhUSrB8HXs4Bjvu7HdlFg_76matw9Y&video=9c0dacb7-1ed6-418a-b8b1-91b236f7f5c1

Public Records Request #!, Phase 1 - the Removal of Station Manager from TV 3 / MCM for FAILURE TO PERFORM

1,530,398 @ 11:26 am
Patrick Gordon's Failure to Perform



Keeper of the Records
Mayor of Medford
85 George P. Hassett Drive
Medford, MA 02155

RE: Patrick Gordon's Contract, Job Description, CORI check waiver, etc.

Dear Keeper of the records


This is a request for public records pursuant to G.L. c. 66 § 10. Please supply copies or make available for inspection public records containing the following information:

1)The employment contract of Patrick Gordon.  If you feel this is a personnel issue, which I disagree with, you can send the exact contract without his name on it.

2)The document containing the job description for station manager

3)The document containing a request for a CORI check from residents. (With a new mayor, this absurd document that ex solicitor Rumley told me that he devised should be removed.)
And to clarify, I have a Background Check Clearance Certificate from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  My goal is to see that candidates running for office are not spied upon. Also, another concern is the individual who was conducting CORI checks for the high school - perhaps - allegedly should not have been viewing private information.  If correct, it would show poor judgment on the part of the former city solicitor...again.

4)Any documents detailing Mr. Gordon's work - documents with postings of the number of classes for residents at the TV station, frequency of Twitter postings, frequency of Facebook postings, what exactly Mr. Gordon does for the salary he receives.  (I've been documenting the lack of activity on Twitter, Facebook etc. which shows a distinct lack of outreach and a failure to facilitate programming. Furthermore, the poor, very weak activity displayed on the video page (which is very difficult to find) shows a lack of effort on the part of the station manager to promote the activities of the public, the government and the high school.   https://medford.vod.castus.tv/vod/?video=8367a5f6-65ad-44bd-95ad-346229c0e1c5   Why is it that my Facebook live pages get hundreds of views and the first three rows of videos have extremely low spins for videos in a city of 60,000 or so people.  This lack of effort is in line with the previous managers who were both inefficient (lazy,) paid too much money, and gave NOTHING to this community.  The only video with extensive views is the pre-election debate.

5)The document containing the annual salary of Mr. Patrick Gordon
I recognize that you may charge reasonable costs for copies, as well as for personnel time needed to comply with this request, however as a member of the press (51 years now!) with the Medford blog/newsletter well over 1.5 million page views, this is a matter of GREAT public interest. Thus, I request that you waive all fees regarding this important request.

The Public Records Law requires you to provide me with a written response within 10 business days. If you cannot comply with my request, you are statutorily required to provide an explanation in writing.  Please send correspondences via e mail to
xxxxxxx

Sincerely and respectfully,

Fire TV3's Patrick Gordon - Medford Anti-Community Media

1,529,423 @ 11:45 pm



     Access TV Legend Joe Fortunato Endorses Good-For-Nothing
Patrick Gordon

Someone Must Have Slipped
Something into the Punch
at the Inauguration
Joe Photo Getting Punchy...

____________________________

Oh, you can't take classes at TV3?

That's because Pat Gordon can't get off of his lazy ass to actually reach out to the community.

Mr. Gordon's Job Description
and his contract
will be subject of a new
PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST

In loony bird Stephanie Burke's
infinite wisdom (not)
aided and abetted by Free Speech Villain
Mark E. Rumley
you get the return of
Jason Natalia
or is it Dawn Marra?
Take your pick

Bad Manager after Bad Manager

President of MATV
George Manfra
told me:
They will never fix Medford
It was set up wrong to begin with

Well, Manfra stomping on free speech
in Malden is hardly a paragon of
virtue

And now Manfra's pal Gordon
is spitting on the 1st Amendment in
Medford

Who needs sleazy cable providers
and people cutting the cord
as the enemy when greedy
townies ruin access for the masses?

On one hand they fail to do their job,
the obligation to the community:

Proper outreach
Facilitation of Programming

on the other hand they
grab the dwindling P/E/G franchise fees
they are alotted
thinking of themselves first
the public last

It sucks
And it is how business is done in the world of access television

Which is why the endangered species is endangered by whack jobs like
Erica Jones in Somerville
(Such a loser!)

Melodie Wing in Winchester
(What a witch!  Hey, know any 
15 year old members
sexually harassed by Melodie's
pet poodle, the BC teacher?

We'll send you the document!)

MATV
Stalkers Welcome!

That dolt over at Melrose TV
stealing guests because he's too
stupid and ugly to get guests
on his own

And now Patrick Gordon
is lazy, disconnected
and continuing the ruination of
Medford Television

Joe Photo...
have another drink!

Gordon is Poison to Free Speech

MORE TO COME

We're going to look at Gordon's Contract
and then demand his removal

stay tuned

Our Radio / TV Mission for Medford


My mission is to create a realistic and welcoming community radio and television station.

Right now you have a better chance of bumping into the old members of MCC TV3 than realistically meeting new people and sharing ideas on sports, politics, baking, sewing, gardening ...all the good stuff access is supposed to be about

Medford Community Media Asked to Join our Politics Page !

1,529,352 @ 6:54 pm

Medford Community Media has asked to join our little group. I've accepted the station that asks members for a CORI check when other stations located at schools - Burlington, Wakefield, etc. do not.

Indeed, the law is unsupervised contact with children. Management is paid a lot of money to supervise the station.

With the city solicitor retired I have asked the mayor to remove that cockamamie rule a lawyer dreamed up to build a stumbling block to the First Amendment and chill speech in Medford. Though the station was named after my proposal to Mayor McGlynn - the sole proposal offered - Community Media Medford, in her infinite wisdom the previous mayor just slid the last of the three words, Medford, to the front - Community Media Medford.

It's such a fantastic name that the TV3 station that I shut down paid City Hall to register MY NAME and start going after my websites claiming - falsely - that a station manager owned it. Station managers should approach a board of directors but we know the perpetually dissolving MCC TV3's rules - about as realistic as a recently impeached alleged "president" of these United States.

The "station manager" was busy circling my neighborhood at 2 AM blasting his horn while taking my ideas. A little signature from him to stay away from my family and Tony's Gas station was signed in Superior Court after he defaulted on a case putting another victory in my column.

Now with the current station:

the question is why is the branding so off? Is it Medford Community Media or - as the Twitter states - MCM_Medford (a bit redundant - Medford Community Media Medford...duh) with a serious lack of postings.


My mission is to create a realistic and welcoming community radio and television station.

Let's throw them a bone - look at the weak Twitter account with few postings and fewer followers...
Is this a good way for our 65k or so to be spent annually?

Discussion on Access TV on Facebook



Joe V's Responses

I was the sole person to respond to Mayor McGlynn's RFP Request for Proposals. I applied for the job in 2005, but the old TV3 did NOT want experienced professionals. The kid they hired had never worked in access television and allegedly ran out of the room in hysterics because he couldn't put a tripod together. Nice guy, I got along with him, he left and went to Boston Neighborhood Network but didn't last long. Then TV3 hired a vicious woman from Foster RI who made movies, allegedly demanded members stuff ballots for her movies to "win" contests. They won a 10K contest (to his credit, solicitor and board member Mark Rumley refused to vote when pressured on it) and then she demanded the 10K while telling citizens she got ten thousand dollars for the station. We had a lawsuit in Superior Court, I won, of course. In court we found out her experience: she produced one cooking show at Worcester's cable TV station. Her successor had to sign a stay away order after we caught him harassing my home and my neighborhood night after night, blasting his horn at 2 AM, peering through my windows. So they had no intention of hiring competent professionals. McGlynn, allegedly, considered this a "scarecrow" tactic. Keep the residents out, let him pay his pal JD out of the access monies - and JD's camerawork and audio ...well, a fifteen year old could do better in my opinion. Mayor Burke hired BB. I warned the city council to NOT let BB install the new cameras. Sure enough he gets a job at MGM and the council has to scramble. They never listen. Now an exile from MATV, PG, was doing Muccini-Burke's bidding. You want real access television? I can put a staff together in a heartbeat and watch the fun this city will have. My hosting in access started in 1979...in 41 years ya think someone might learn a thing or two or three? It's Medford's loss to use individuals who do not care about Medford or access TV and know nothing about it whatsoever. That's what we've been saddled with for over 30 years.


Part II

perhaps the biggest reason they don't want professionals in there: 3/5ths of the funding, about 600 thousand dollars goes into a black hole known as "the general fund." 1/5th pays 3 teacher salaries which is highly inappropriate, the 200K for P/E/G access was being hijacked and we had color bars instead of programming. I shut down TV3, Mayor Burke took the 700k or so that I saved the city and squandered it on the Educational Channel claiming it was PUBLIC ACCESS, asking for a CORI check so that she could spy on candidates, ostensibly, and you are so right: Medford Being Medford. IF 600k a year goes to the General Fund supposedly to keep taxes down, why are your taxes going up every year. What a scam. Mayor Burke and Roy Belson were cited for violating the Open Meeting Law when I caught them having a Cable Advisory Board that didn't post according to the OML. That "Advisory Board" was a disguise for a Chapter 74 board, but they didn't call it that until the complaint was filed...it was the Cable Advisory Board with some members allegedly not knowing they were part of that board. Belson and Burke should have been slammed but only got a slap on the wrist when I insisted a harsher punishment as they knew exactly what they were doing. Burke being close to the AG, well, you get the drift... So much money...what I don't understand is if a citizen uses a double coupon at Stop & Shop to save a buck, why are they not looking at the millions and millions of dollars Medford has hijacked off of cable TV for the past three decades or more????

Patch article - Chicken and Rice Guys Closes

The candidate for city council was at the Inauguration handing out delicious food.

Too bad they didn't find another area of Medford to move to.

Too bad the dude didn't replace Caraviello on the city council...but there's always a councilor-impeachment kind of deal for someone as nasty as Caraviello, isn't there?

Caraviello lied to the police

Was a buffoon in criminal court where he lost
And is in bad need of an elocution lesson or two.
For 30K a year?  Taxpayers in Medford and in the state are screwed when Caraviello abuses the office of the District Attorney.

Oh My God!

Flanked by Zac Bears and George Scarpelli, it looks like a sumo wrestler audition! 

WARNING:
VIEWING THIS PHOTO CAN BE DISTURBING:

Nicole is thinking under her breath "Why am I standing next to this tall geek with a stupid smirk?" meaning Madame Knight and...Michael Marks is almost the exact height as John Falco, with John Falco being as thin as Marks used to be.   Rep Donato take note: the way Marks has packed on the pounds you are an official Chubby Chaser!

Scarpelli, Caraviello and Falco make the threesome from hell.  Absolutely the cure for homosexuality.  Throw them in a gay bar and watch the guys all flee for their lives...

TITLE: Bear with me as we go down memory lane and then we'll get to how the school system, the MPD ( Medford Police Dept. ) and TV3 are all entangled with each other!
__________________________________


           When I graduated Arlington High in 1972 after one year at Arlington Catholic High with abusive nuns and a soon-to-be abusive student by the name of Michael J. McGlynn there was no chatter about a varsity coach allegedly having sex with a politician's daughter! There were no Jenna Tarabelsi-styled headlines of a staffer having sex with a 15 year old  who took pictures of her breasts - that stuff was left up to the priests at Arlington Catholic!   Sitting next to me at my sister's wedding good old Eugene O'Sullivan reprimanded me for reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, one of my inspirations as a writer.   Weddings bore the heck out of me so I brought me some reading material!  Turns out decades later if you want to get rid of a child molesting priest, pull out Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures and watch the rapist priest flee!  See...the book works!   Works as easy as an "objection" to throw an ex city solicitor off of a witness stand; easier than Dorothy's bucket o' water on the wicked witch!

     And whether you believe in the religion or not, the book (said to have had 5 editors or so) displays how wonderful - and magical - her grasp of the language was - and within the pages of the book still is:  brilliant.

     OK, so the priest is having sex with under age boys and is upset with me for reading a book by a protestant church founder.  Wow.  I say protestant as that particular church is a Christian denomination not part of the Catholic establishment.
 
          "Don't read a Christian book but molest the altar boys" appeared to be O'Sullivan's business model.  A couple of decades later I dated a fellow (a real sweetheart, too bad he had a boyfriend because we got along well...oh it's not adultery...gay marriage wasn't a law yet!  And heck, we both went to the same school...)  who alleged he was molested by "Grape"  back in the day- another priest at St. Agnes.   I believe him because we ninth graders had one odd "sex ed" class and Grape was the priest asking us fifteen year olds to ask him questions about sex.  Fifty years later it's obvious he was the wolf in the hen house, the chicken hawk looking to see what young boys were interested in under the guise of sex education.   Harvey Weinstein has nothing on the Catholic priests of that era.


       I do recall my home room 9th grade teacher was young and was bestowed with certain gifts that made some of the fellows in our class view her with more "lust in their hearts" than Jimmy Carter could ever muster.   She would walk down the aisle "In the name of the Father and the Son..." and her breasts would swing to the right to the left as she would say the sign of the cross...just with the proper rhythm.  Ahhh, the days before cellphone videos. Can you imagine the page views on that!  When she wasn't in class the boys would imitate her  walking down the aisle repeating her and moving their chests right and life.   This is brought up because we don't recall any student/teacher liaisons.  If anything when the nuns got out of habit the rumors flew that the nuns were accompanying other nuns...but we've now digressed way off course, Superintendent Marice Edouard-Vincent, to five decades later and other issues plaguing the school system.  Well, after all, it is the era of teachers and students engaging in social media, so the burden is great with the new technology, probably hijacked from space alien abandoned aircraft...but we're really digressing now.

Response from School Dept. Thank You Mayor Lungo-Koehn

1,528,865 @ 6:39 pm


We have received a response with information on an employee hired in October 22, 2018.  There are thirty-five pages.

The employment was in the Business Office,
job title Administrative Assistant.

I do not want to name the employee, but what our readers want to know is why this individual came and went so quickly.  There was a similar come and go with a varsity coach shrouded in mystery.

Superintendent, School System Hiding from the Public BREAKING

1,528,553 all-time visits @ 8:55 am

8:32 am - spoke with Daria in the Mayor's Office about the outrageous failure of the school system to respond to the public records request. The Sec of State's office AND the mayor's office are now apprised. The Determinations in my favor for documents from the police, the AG's office on TV3, the school system have resulted in exposing how reticent these entities are in complying with the law. The new mayor should cleanse the city of these non-compliant individuals and put forthright people in their place. More to come.
