My goal is quite simple: to help the community with an
honest access TV station, the soap box Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg wanted
the public to have.
Mark
Rumley said to me outside of his office "No one would do this for
himself; you are doing this for the community." (paraphrased)
EX
SOLICITOR MARK RUMLEY APPLAUDED ME FOR HELPING THE COMMUNITY. THAT IS
ALL WE ARE DOING, HELPING THE CITY OF MEDFORD GET BACK WHAT WAS STOLEN
FROM THEM BY CITY HALL
MEANWHILE, SELF-SERVING KEN "Medford" Krause types from Cleveland Ohio want the access station all to themselves!
While
Rumley was lying, cheating and "investigating" his own board of
directors that he was once part of, and abandoning the citizens by
dropping the case and throwing it at the Attorney General Martha
Coakley's office...an office, which, Rumley originally said wouldn't be
investigating what he was investigating. This investigative reporter
alleges that Rumley was in conflict protecting himself. As a board
member he did NOTHING to stop the malfeasance, nothing of substance.
As
for the great Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg's take on this, it is in direct
conflict with Mayor Lungo-Koehn's absolute thievery of access TV in
Medford -See Demarest vs Athol/Orange:
"
Justices Kennedy and Ginsburg appear to agree with plaintiffs. In Denver Area *92 Educational Telecommunications Consortium, Inc. v. FCC, 518 U.S. 727, 116 S. Ct. 2374, 135 L. Ed. 2d 888 (1996), Justice Kennedy's concurrence made it very clear that he and Justice Ginsburg believed that "[a] public access channel is a public forum." Id. at 783, 116 S. Ct. 2374 (concurring in part, dissenting in part). Justice Kennedy observed that a channel like AOTV is "open to programming by the public." Id. at
790, 116 S. Ct. 2374. He also pointed out that the House Report
"characterized public access channels as `the video equivalent of the
speaker's soap box or the electronic parallel to the printed leaflet.'" Id. at 791, 116 S. Ct. 2374, quoting H.R.Rep. No. 98-934 at 30."

NEWSLETTER = WHILE PATRICK GORDON IS PRAISED FOR HIS DEFICIENT TWITTER
AND INEXCUSABLE LACK OF CLASSES AND OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY
Have you ever received a Constant Contact from Medford Community Media?
While
Breanna Lungo-Koehn is BEGGING for money at Christmastime...Mayor
Lungo-Koehn believes it is better to GIVE TO HER than to receive the
gift of access television,
other honest stations are
publishing newsletters, doing proper outreach, not on their knees for
the city council as Patrick Gordon is.
Mr.
Gordon is behaving like Winchester TV, or his former boss Ronny Cox,
where they kiss the collective asses of public officials, residents be
damned. Cox would rather be a "star" in his own mind and taking
advantage of people. For years, probably two decades, he leeched off of
my hard work and honest efforts. Not even 5 bucks in a Christmas card,
Scrooge Ron Cox is all about himself, not the community. When I said
to Ronny at a Christmas party last year "You broke the law" (in regards
to protecting a stalker at an MATV event) Cox said "I know."
Rather
than open up access with logical policies and procedures and no CORI
check for your grandma when she wants to bake cookies for you on TV,
Breanna is out on the street with her tin cup begging for money. She
takes what is yours, access TV, and insults you this Christmas demanding
you donate to her:
Breanna
knows she has more work to do and everything hasn’t been perfect. As
supporters and friends, we know we need to share her accomplishments and
drive the momentum we need to make Medford even better for our friends
and families.
That’s
why we need YOUR help. We want to show Breanna we see how hard she’s
working and appreciate what she’s doing for our community.
Please make a contribution to support Breanna’s campaign account. You can do this by going to www.breanna4mayor.com/contribute or just click on the button below.
Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
scrooge couldn't have said it better.
breanna
continues the city hall tradition of stealing access television from
the masses, and puts her tin cup out there looking for more of your
cash!
BREANNA BEGGING FOR $$$ THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
WHERE IS OUR ACCESS TELEVISION, JUDGE JACKSON-THOMPSON
THE DEMAREST VS ATHOL/ORANGE CASE IS QUITE CLEAR
BREANNA IS A LAWYER
WHICH MEANS THAT SHE IS DELIBERATELY STEALING YOUR ACCESS TV SO THAT THERE IS NO CRITICISM OF CITY HALL
THE GOVERNMENT CHANNEL HAS STOLEN THE ACCESS CHANNEL AFTER MY HARD WORK AND MY MONEY REMOVING TV3
THEY
STOLE MY HARD WORK AND HONEST EFFORTS AND ARE USING IT FOR THEMSELVES,
ADAM KNIGHT, RICK CARAVIELLO, CROOKED MICHAEL MARKS, ZAC BEARS, NICOLE
MORELL, FALCO AND SCARPELLI, THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU, THE
CORRUPT CITY COUNCIL OF MEDFORD VOTES FOR ITS OWN PAY RAISE AND ABUSES
YOUR ACCESS TELEVISION STATION FOR THEIR OWN UNETHICAL PURPOSES. WHICH
WE WILL PROVE IN A COURT OF LAW.

Judge Says Amateur News Gatherers on Public Access TV Have Same Rights as Professionals
|
by Justin Pope
|
|
BOSTON - A federal court has ruled that nonprofessional news gatherers
have the same rights as professionals, supporting a community gadfly who
claimed she was muzzled by a public access cable company.
It is the first ruling of its kind, said the American Civil Liberties
Union, which represented plaintiff Patricia Demarest in her fight with
Athol/Orange Community Television.
"It will open so many more doors for common citizens to use public
access as a public forum and a place to speak their minds," said
Demarest, co-producer of the program "Think Tank 2000."
"It's a fight for any common citizen to bring forth ideas and generate healthy communities."
Demarest used the program to accuse local officials in the central Massachusetts town of Athol of conflicts of interest.
But after she broadcast the grilling she gave one official, she was
suspended by the cable company, whose board is appointed by the city.
The company also changed its rules to ban controversial programming,
requiring broadcasters to get written permission from anyone they
portrayed.
Last week, however, U.S. District Judge Michael Ponsor in Springfield
ruled that such shows constitute a "public forum" and have First
Amendment protection.
AOTV lawyer Peter Epstein said he had not read the verdict and could not comment.
The cable company said after several controversial broadcasts in 2000
that the regulation requiring written consent was necessary to prevent
unfair coverage.
The ACLU argued that would prevent coverage of any public official.
Cable access provides the same opportunity to share ideas as printed
leaflets and soap boxes did in the past, said Bill Newman, director of
the western Massachusetts chapter of the ACLU.
"Citizen producers of shows are entitled to the same First Amendment
protections as producers of shows for large media outlets," Newman said.
The judge essentially agreed, writing that the requirement "made news
makers news editors. By refusing to sign a release form, Athol's news
makers could ensure that their images did not appear on AOTV."
Ponsor also struck down an AOTV rule that prohibits broadcasters from
showing illegal acts. Such a requirement, he said, would have prevented
the broadcast of "some of the most important moments in American
history," including footage of the Bloody Sunday attack on civil rights
marchers in Selma, Ala.
