ALEX NEWMAN'S FALSE ATTRIBUTION

ALEX NEWMAN OF THE PATCH RECEIVED MY ARTICLE Wed, Jun 23 at 3:50 PM AND LIES THAT THE TRANSCRIPT FIRST PUBLISHED JUNE 24!


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PATCH EDITOR ALEX NEWMAN RECEIVED OUR NEWS
ARTICLE ON JUNE 23, CREDITS IT TO NELL COAKLEY WHO PUBLISHED A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT!

E MAIL SENT TO PATCH EDITOR ALEX ON JUNE 23 ATTACHED  



DOCUMENT ATTACHED PROVES THAT ALEX NEWMAN OF THE PATCH WAS E MAILED THE BREAKING NEWS STORY ON FORMER CITY SOLICITOR MARK RUMLEY AS COUNSEL FOR MEDFORD CITY HALL DEPT. HEADS  ALEESHA BENJAMIN-NUNLEY and MICHAEL DURHAM

Alex Newman knew of the BLOCKBUSTER complaints and that I had written the original article.  I OBTAINED THEM BEFORE 7 AM ON JUNE 23 

WE INITIATED THE INVESTIGATION ON JUNE 19, 2021, DAYS BEFORE THE PATCH AND THE MEDFORD TRANSCRIPT.


SEE EXHIBIT A:  MY E MAIL TO MY MAILING LIST ON JUNE 23, 2021 WITH ALEX NEWMAN'S ADDRESS HIGHLIGHTED (ATTACHED)

EXHIBIT B    12:42   THE ARTICLE WITH FALSE ATTRIBUTION STILL UP TODAY, JUNE 26, 2021 EVEN THOUGH PATCH WAS ALERTED TO THE MISINFORMATION THEY WERE PUBLISHING.

To my dear former editor Nell Escobar Coakley: 

Congratulations! 

Wow, like the teacher in the film IN AND OUT accepting an award he never earned, that belonged to Kevin Kline's character, Howard Brackett (you know, the old homo they wanted to take advantage of)

Was it teacher Ed Kenrow/IN and Out:  But he's not  the teacher of the year!  I am,  and this belongs to me!

Take it, Nell!   

Take breaking the story from the old homo!   You've earned it with all City Hall hands you and the bidding that you do for them!

You are awarded, Nell, breaking a story that Rumley handed you, ostensibly because I broke it.  

Nell's a great typist, a reporter?  Not so much. 

i FEEL SO, SO...HOWARD BRACKETT!

Stories flow to my old editor from City Hall and Nell loves to type type type away.  But a gumshoe reporter?  Hardly.   Gannet take note!


ANOTHER story I broke years ago was hijacked by the Transcript and the young writer, almost fresh out of grammar school (well, in his 20s) won some Gatehouse Media award for, you guessed it, Nell, something published by yours truly first.  HA HA.  

The original is still the greatest.

Heck, the Patch wrote a story on May 3, 2012, Jarret Bencks wrote about the Medford Housing Authority board meeting where I had my video camera rolling.  I was gunning for Bob Covelle but caught my old (now dearly departed friend) Gene McGillicuddy on tape.  Look, I loved old
"Uncle Gene," Mayor McGlynn's uncle, and didn't want to report him to Governor Deval Patrick for the conflict of interest.  It was strictly business.

I had to ask Jarret to correct his article and actually tell the world who really brought down Bob Covelle.  (Covelle never thought he would be exiled; it was my having the Governor remove Uncle Gene that took McGlynn's uncle OFF of the board as the Governor's appointment that was how we got
rid of Covelle.  Covelle would have survived the Boston Globe articles because Uncle Gene would have been the vote to keep him on, allegedly.)
 

And Mark Rumley jumped up at the board meeting to object as if we were in a court of law! 

(Rumley stated the week before the Medford Housing Authority was a "separate body politic!" Then why was Mark interfering?  You simply cannot trust that attorney, and I'm the living
proof of that!!!!!)


Play Michael Marks soundbite at city hell here when Rumley objected to Marks:  "You can't object. This isn't a court of law!"

Credit the Boston Globe for blowing the Medford Housing Authority story wide open.
Thank you to former nominee for Attorney General George Sacco for giving me the credit for exposing an aspect of the Medford Housing Authority at the city council of Medford...did you know that my attorney from the Cape Cod area was Sacco's INTERN when he was running for AG...but I digress...)

Jarret Bencks finally credited me, but the Patch did use my news site title Information Central to try to get traction when they needed some love!

Here's the Bencks' story crediting me:

Covelle could not be immediately reached Wednesday night.

Patrick asked Covelle to resign through a letter from Aaron Gornstein, his housing undersecretary, on Thursday, citing the findings of the federal audit. Patrick also replaced his appointment to the authority's commission Eugene McGillicuddy with Sean Caron. McGillicuddy is related to McGlynn through marriage, he said during a housing meeting in April after being asked about his relationship to McGlynn by Medford resident and videographer Joseph Viglione.\





My pal Paul Donato was incredulous that I got to the Governor.   Believe it, Paul.  We've only known each other half a century, y'know.   Me and Paul, not yours truly and the ex gov!

ATTRIBUTION....
As of 12:42 pm today the Patch article is still up crediting my old friend Nell.  I should be tuning in to WMWM right now as the rerun of last week's show is playing my song, "Can't Wait To See You Smile," but I digress again! 

Instead I am giving you a link with the FALSE ATTRIBUTION by Alex Newman crediting my old editor with my hard work and honest efforts!

Paragraph 3, June 25 PATCH article, false information from Alex Newman

On June 23rd I received the Nunley and Durham papers from a confidential source and spent a good four hours uploading and working on the story.  Got it at 6:41 am, and it wasn't Rumley!  HA HA!
My tipster got me the documents I was desperately seeking Wed, Jun 23 at 6:41 AM


The story that my dear old pal Rumley just handed to Nell Coakley, most likely because my blog got about 7,000 hits and climbing.  Not the quarter of a million hits my publisher Billy Tauro at Somerville News Weekly and Medford News Weekly told me we got for my D.A. Marian Ryan story on the
117 untrustworthy Brady/Giglio cops in the county of Middlesex, but still damn good for a city of around 58,000 residents chock full of apathy.

My former gal pal, No News Nell, wasn't at City Hall on June 23, 2021 AFTER I broke the story earlier in the day.

Gee, this reporter was there.  Working hard to get the story out first.

I DIDN'T SEE CHELSEA'S ALEX NEWMAN AT CITY HALL ON WEDNESDAY JUNE 23, 2021 AT THE EMERGENCY MEETING AFTER I PUBLISHED
THE RUMLEY LETTER, ANOTHER DAMNING RUMLEY REPORT, IF YOU WILL.

My tipster got me the documents I was desperately seeking Wed, Jun 23 at 6:41 AM

So for Newman to credit No News Nell with my hard work and honest efforts, took me hours to upload the material, well, shame on Alex and the Patch.

ON JUNE 25, 2021 WHEN THE PATCH RAN WITH MY STORY, THEY ATTRIBUTED IT TO MY FORMER EDITOR, NELL ESCOBAR COAKLEY,
WHO HAS CALLED ME 'SPOT ON' WHEN IT COMES TO REPORTING

"They all thought you were crazy," Nell said to me in the Transcript office, "Then one by one they came here and said Joe Viglione was right."

I get that lots!    According to legend, Councilor Michael Marks in April of 2018 said at the TV station "Joe Vig was right."

For two decades I have reported on Medford Politics and we have broken many a story. 
We got the L'Italien Report on police misconduct out of then Solicitor Rumley's "cold, unclean hands."

As much fun as my having Judge Yee in Somerville District Court throw Rumley (and by extension, corrupt Sgt. Mackowski) off the witness stand
with my simple Pro se  "Objection, your Honor."  What was it Yee said, oh yes, "Irrelevant testimony."   Rumley was under subpoena from a violent stalker
that the judge slapped with a FOUR YEAR harassment protection order to protect me and my household.  I believe the stalker broke into my
home in May of 2014 when I was at the Book Expo in New York hanging out with Dr. Ruth and a multitude of book authors. 

Mayor Lungo Koehn needs to read that carefully.  The ex City Solicitor and the Sgt (Mackowski, now knee deep in a criminal investigation of council VP Adam Knight) was wasting taxpayer monies (as was jackass Sgt Mackowski) under subpoena from a violent stalker when both the sarge and the solicitor could have told the court they had no information.  Instead, curious Rumley got Dorothy's bucket of water to embarrass him and have him thrown off of the witness stand.  The melting of that old wicked witch courtesy of yours truly.  God Bless Judge Yee!

THE PATCH HAS ITS OWN PATRICIA SMITH in ALEX NEWSMAN!   He Just MAKES IT UP!!!!!!

 

REMEMBER JUNE 19, 1998 when Patricia Smith was OUSTED FROM THE BOSTON GLOBE FOR FICTION WRITING?

Well, June 19, 2021, twenty-three years later, Medford Information Central started and published an investigation into Attorney Rumley (part time in Malden lawyer, former
Medford City Solicitor.)   I move to Malden, Rumley starts work in Malden.   Mark, do you have a crush on me, or did you get the stalking itch via osmosis from Judge Yee's courtroom?   

Only Mark Rumley's hairdresser knows for sure, and since Marky Mark has gone bald, she ain't saying nuthin', man!

What can I say?  The gay caballero strikes again. 

Give credit where it's due, Alex Newman. 

Do NOT credit my hard work and honest efforts to my ol' galpal No News Nell!

Now excuse me as I get set to speak to a lawyer hired by the city of Medford, outside counsel, for my complaint against the extremely crooked Council President Richard F Caraviello while the police investigate the Vice President of the City Council and push for a criminal complaint against Adam Knight.   Welcome to Medford.

As Disrespectfully As Ever,

Joe Viglione
