RE:
a)1/28/2020 Council Meeting did NOT run again according to sources
b)Muccini-Burke's hire - Pat Gordon - failure to perform, Twitter inactive, Castus VOD a mess with no categories
____________________________________________
Dear Honorable Joe Fortunato,
I received a number of complaints that a critical meeting of the Medford City Council did not air in re-broadcast.
It was the Jan 28,2020 meeting of the Medford council
Council President Falco and Clerk Hurtubise need to look into this.
This letter is regarding the complaints my news site has received on TV3 station manager Patrick Gordon and his
failure to perform. The failure of the council meeting not in re-run status, if true, just another example of Gordon's
poor work ethic which is detrimental to community media in Medford.
An anonymous letter arrived at my news site calling my honest efforts "self serving," bundled with regrettable invective invalidating
the anonymous writer's opinion.
The vulgar nature of the e mail, and the perpetrator's failure to sign displayed the dishonesty when the person was praising
Patrick Gordon's failure to perform. Incredibly, the letter writer gave the evidence of Gordon's poor work ethic.
As you are a veteran of access television, as I am, your remarks praising Gordon on Facebook prompted me to write you
directly. There are many, many people in the bcc.
The perpetrator of the vulgar e mail noted this link as evidence of their opinion Patrick Gordon is doing a good job.
In a court of law, I could easily demonstrate that this link PROVES otherwise; is proof of Gordon's lack of effort and
how ex Mayor Muccini-Burke's poor choice of Pat Gordon has failed to live up to the true job description of station manager.
The video claims "204 Programs Produced by Medford Community Media in the year 2019; across all channels, Public, Educational and Governmental"
For a station manager to take claim that the city council meetings, school committee meetings and other government meetings
are some kind of badge of honor that he is facilitating programming is absurd on its face. We've had those meetings for the past 18 years, since I started my campaign to remove Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. and replace it with true public TV.
As anyone can see, my efforts are on behalf of the community - are self-less. Pat Gordon's self-serving failure to perform is to grab a paycheck for work not done. Isn't that - allegedly - as bad as the compensation fraud by the 27 Medford Police officers?
Patrick Gordon's video about 204 programs is compensation fraud, in my opinion. Isn't he using government channel videos as "proof" that he hasn't serviced the public in a service industry?
Lenny Scoletta, Steve Bertorelli and embattled board member Arthur Alan Deluca have scared people away from the new station.
They are all individuals who have displayed a level of hostility at anyone who challenged MCC TV3. So why does Gordon embrace them while not calling the public to enjoy the electronic soap box?
The Medford VOD link is a mess. P/E/G all blended together with no rhyme or reason, a Twitter account that is not being used professionally, a lame website, poor branding. Mr. Fortunato, I would love to debate this issues on access TV with you or at a city council meeting. The case against Mr. Gordon is easy to prove. Complaints about government channel videos not in rotation, complaints from numerous residences to this veteran of access, my first show in 1979. Arguably, I am the person with most access experience in Medford.
So TV3 Medford is claiming 204 shows. In Winchester, 2010, when I was awarded "Producer of the Year," I hosted Visual Radio, The Book Corner (a show WinCAM already had in motion,) the public domain movies with a respected critic calling in (no crazy Dr. Rabies playing old movies, but a co-host from Texas - author of 4 books - giving viewers a reason to tune in,) a two hour call-in show every Friday night, The Joe Viglione Radio Show, the Buzzy Linhart Radio Show...(Linhart was a friend of Jimi Hendrix who wrote Bette Midler's signature tune "Friends") -- 5 Academy Award-winning directors on my show that year (Michael Moore, Jodi Foster, Roger Zemeckis, etc. etc.) 200-300 shows were produced by yours truly in one year, just as a volunteer...but Pat Gordon allegedly has to claim the government channel as part of the programming that he facilitated? In what universe?
My shows have NOT aired in Medford. Why? Because I liberated the city from Medford Community Cablevision? More like Mark Rumley took the oath of office, spit on it, and worked for ex Mayor McGlynn to be hostile to public access producers.
Pat Gordon is an extension of the censorship program by McGlynn and Stephanie Muccini-Burke.
That my blog gets more views per hour than Patrick Gordon's uploads get in a month speaks volumes. Patrick Gordon is not promoting the videos, Patrick Gordon isn't reaching out to the community - he's never invited me to be on the air though he met me at a cable advisory meeting (where Gordon was unnecessarily vicious to me on camera - obviously Gordon is jealous of hard work and honest effort - intelligence and ability.)
I submit that we are still in the Steve Marra/Dawn Natalia era of mismanagement at TV3.
The ridiculous CORI checks are more evidence that Gordon can't be trusted to supervise children, otherwise Rumley wouldn't have said to the cable advisory board "the possibility of contact with children" because the law reads that trusted SUPERVISION is the key.
____________________________________________
M.G.L. c. 71, § 38R requires all schools to conduct criminal background checks on current and prospective employees and volunteers, including those who regularly provide school related transportation to students, who may have direct and unmonitored contact with children. (Mark Rumley with the unclean hands changed the law in his reprobate mind to be "possibility of unmonitored contact with children" which is a violation of his oath of office to uphold the U.S. Constitution. Rumley spit on the First Amendment and my experience with Rumley is that he is a very, very bad person. - ed)
CORI must be obtained from the CHSB at least every three years during an individual's term of employment or service. In addition, M.G.L. c. 6, § 172I, requires schools to obtain CORI of employees of taxicab companies that have contracted with the schools to provide transportation to pupils under M.G.L. c. 71, § 7A. Contracting taxicab companies are required to submit the names of employees who may have direct and unmonitored contact with pupils to the appropriate school committee or school superintendent prior to those drivers transporting any pupil.

____________________________________________
Since Mr. Gordon is entrusted with supervising the facility, only his alleged incompetence would force Rumley to think Mr. Gordon not qualified to supervise ex members of TV 3 who terrified people at 5 High Street that straggle around the station
WinCAM was in a high school, Wakefield is in a high school, Somerville Community Media has kids running around the hall screaming (and now-president of the station Joe Lynch talking to me about what he wants to do to Mayor Joe Curtatone sexually, at a station that has children! And Medford demands a CORI check. By the way, Mr. Lynch's unwanted talk to me about his desire to do things to Mayor Curtatone WAS sexual harassment since I'm not interested in that kind of talk at a station, nor am I interested in Lynch or Curtatone. It was appalling and shocking and Mark Rumley wanted Cori checks in Medford.)
The hypocrisy goes further when at 10:30 am on October 15, 2017 Mayor Burke was laughing at Paul Donato doing what Somerville Media president wished he could do to Mayor Curtatone - Donato playing with the erogenous zone of councilor Michael Marks in front of two little children and a 15 year old running the camera at Burke's grand opening of the TV station, a grand opening catering to reprobate elected officials noted in the photo below - Caraviello, Marks, Donato, Falco, but not the public paying the freight.
So tell me, how is Pat Gordon's failure to perform something you, of all people, want to applaud?
The complaints on Gordon are many; the evidence is clear - Medford loses again.
It's time our Mayor read this very carefully and bring in someone who cares about the community.
Where is that City Council meeting - 1-28-2020 and did Patrick Gordon fail the community by not airing it repeatedly?
Respectfully,
Joe Viglione
