270 days
February 5, 2021 - November 2, 2021
Just because an Adam Knight or a Rick Caraviello are skillful at campaigning doesn't make them good leaders, business people or good human beings.
How many Medford voters actually READ the Petitions, Presentations and other similar matters? Or can even describe / define what
those topics actually mean to their pocketbook?
Do you think over 500 people have actually read the Rules of the City Council? http://www.medfordma.org/city-council-2/city-council-rules/
You don't have to read a recent article in the Weekly Dig to see the absence of news media in this region
Anne D'Urso-Rose at MATV (now dubbed "Urban Media Arts" (Malden Access TV) coddles stalkers on the board of directors. Plural.
So if one of Anne D'urso Rose and Ron Cox's stalkers have an order issued against them and refuse to leave a party - in violation of that Harassment Protection Order,
D'Urso Rose and Ron Cox - who have begged for recording artists to perform for free for them, or sometimes for 50 bucks, harass the guy who served them for
free (shades of defunct Medford Community Cablevision, Inc.) coddling people who engage in ugly behavior (the ex board member threatened my family with
a bloody meat cleaver with Ronny Cox beating up the victim AND admitting to me that he did something illegal at a party at another station, sitting at my table.
Arrogant, rude, selfish and not fit for duty. Mr. Cox was scribbling that I was saying bad things about Malden Access TV, which was an absolute lie. Intentionally
I made NO REFERENCE to MATV (it would hurt a potential court case at the time,) but Ronny mouthing off about someone who helped him for two decades
shows that his arrogance is only equaled by his stupidity. He groomed Patrick Gordon, by the way, the Government access fraud helping city government but
not the Public side of access.
But what do I know? My years in access span over four decades - since Adam Knight was in diapers or maybe before he even had his first rattle.
Interesting that while I interview A List guests Adam Knight is STILL shaking his rattle, but that's a story for another day. Council President Rick Caraviello
will grab Knight's teething ring and stick it in his own mouth at the city council. Great communicators they are not.
And Medford puts up with that.
I've lived in Malden the better part of three years now, and don't you find it interesting that the politicians in Malden are more polite, professional and
concerned about their constituents? Oh, they've had some tough ones over the years, but not in the three years that I have been here.
Isn't it interesting that I praise many of the politicians here while Medford is still stuck with the same old same old?
Part of the problem is that there IS no media in the local papers and at the local private access TV clubs.
Anne D'Urso Rose and Ronny Cox and George Manfra will put up a good show, but it is all about them and NOT about the community.
Again, what do I know having been in this game spanning over four decades? Well, since I shut down Medford Community Cablevision, Inc.
one would have to say that I've forgotten more about access television than Pat Gordon or Ronny Cox will ever learn. That being said,
censorship in access TV happens out of fear that someone with skill may take their jobs. That is what it is all about. Take Cox's ex "roommate"
from Salem Access TV, Winchester E.D. David Gauthier. The man is a total clown as E.D., has destroyed the WinCAM station, and - silly me,
I'm the guy who pushed for him to get the job. He was a good egg up at Salem, he's a screaming maniac, an underhanded, selfish clod with
little skill, but talented at kissing the backsides of Melodie, Al and Peter - the three stooges like Frankie, Ronnie and Harvey in Medford.
You wonder why there's no access TV - real access TV? An amazing station like Someville Media Center infected by another "know nothing,"
Erica Jones (she's gone; but allegedly she was taking a paycheck from Somerville while living in New York...until Joe Viglione stepped in...again....)
and "President" Joe Lynch, effectively destroying what was one of the great stations in America.
Clueless people with no true skills in public media, including you Anne D'Urso Rose and I can prove it, have hijacked the powerful local
airwaves while Gannett and Gatehouse before it (and CNC before that....controlled by the Boston Herald at one point....) have struggled
with keeping fresh news like you will find in this essay. Hey - I only worked as an independent contractor for the company for about two
decades with a despot like Michael J. McGlynn so fixated on me he allegedly went after my paycheck. I have proof.
When a powerful jackal like McGlynn is fixated on - an incredulous Tony Eskanian put it "small potatoes" (and he wasn't ridiculing me,
he was shaking his head wondering why McGlynn was fixated on him and me) fixated on "small potatoes," well, guess the pen IS
Mightier than the Sword.
Which means, if you like the way I removed Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. wait till you see how I dismantle Urban Media
Center in Malden. Others, I hear, are going to be doing similar in Somerville in Winchester but that's ok, if they don't succeed as
I have, do you have any doubt in your mind that once we correct Medford and Malden access that I won't lend a hand finally cleaning
up WinCAM and Somerville? Bet on it. Woburn / Stoneham were liberated by my efforts in the 1990s exposing Continental Cablevision's
abuse of access with the dual local origination stations. Thank you former Mayor Dever of Woburn for helping me out.
We need news in the next 270 days, and you won't get it in Medford because puppet Pat Gordon does the will of Breanna Lungo Koehn
and her enemies on the clueless city council. They give Pat an "award" at the exact moment that Zoom was fizzling out....It's like
Jack Dempsey getting awards and praise when his filming of ex Chief Leo A. Sacco Jr. and Chief Gilberti at the fire dept. having no
audio. It was like a Charlie Chaplin silent movie, and Dempsey - who has controlled government TV in the past, takes the money
and runs back to Lexington to sell your kids their own videos that access paid for. Double Dipping Dempsey, allegedly, and the
Medford voters put up with McGlynn's scam?
Those who did know were too afraid to get beat up the way I've been beat up - physically, with the dirtiest police force in
Middlesex Country aiding and abetting the thugs and thieves like Ed Finn, Rick Caraviello and the ugly, ugly bunch.
Here's some of the Weekly Dig article. Used to like Ms. D'Urso Rose and respect her. But coddling stalkers is not acces
television, and Ms. D'Urso Rose should resign in disgrace. My goal today is to make MATV / Urban Outfitters or Outliers
or whatever they are calling themselves today as famous as I made TV3 Medford.
Why? Because the citizens need to know that they are being ripped off. And an election year is perfect timing to
get the word out to those who deserve better.
WEEKLY DIG
Anne D’Urso-Rose is the associated director of Urban Media Arts (UMA), which was formerly known as MATV, Malden’s Media Center, and was rebranded this past January of 2021. With so much political polarization, she stresses the role of local news makers.
“Since the pandemic, it has been more challenging for the traditional local news outlets, so people who live in cities and towns outside of Boston don’t have sources for local news,” D’Urso-Rose said. Responding to that need, the team behind Neighborhood View pursues local coverage, even through financially hard times, and aims to build a sustainable model that continues to train locals in reporting. https://digboston.com/the-push-to-rescue-local-news-in-malden/

Fresh blood and term limits at public access is the prescription. D'Urso Rose, my former friends George Manfra and Ronny Cox,
too obsessed with power (and in some cases paycheck) to do what is right for the citizenry.
I AM a Malden resident and - as the Architect noted "we have become exceedingly efficient at it." Indeed we have

That's right Ronny George and D'Urso, Melodie, Al and Peter, LAWYERS
"This is going to be fun" to quote a late DJ at WBCN to me on the phone when we were taking down Mr. Program Director
I don't do this for fun. I do this because it has to be done.

270 days to the election. THIS is GOING to be FUN!
