RACISM AT THE NEW TV STATION? A Community Media Medford Daily Briefing

COMMUNITY MEDIA MEDFORD DAILY BRIEFING

CABLE ADVISORY BOARD WON'T TOUCH TV3'S ALLEGED USE OF N WORD

In early 2003 Reporter informed Mark Rumley and Human Rights Commission's Diane McLeod of TV3 Station Manager using N Word and laughing!

'a (n word) is an (n word,) a fag is a fag, a spade is a spade"

Steve Marra, self-proclaimed born again Christian and racist as station manager of TV3 40 Canal St. 2002

Allegedly the TV3 President, Francis R. Pilleri, Jr., used the N word and a threat on an African American board member of TV3 resulting in the closure of Medford Community Cablevision's broken Access TV station that had no connectivity to Comcast! on Riverside Ave.
 JUDGE KAVANAUGH: 
  • He ruled in favor of a pro se African-American plaintiff who had been called the “n-word” at work, concluding that he had endured a hostile work environment.

Given the reality that Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. was under investigation for hate speech, how convenient for Gabby Follett-Sumney, Yvette Wilks and Jay Campbell to want to ignore that the N Word was absolutely used in a malicious, vicious way at a 501c3 funded by cable TV subscribers.

How cowardly of issuing authorities Mike McGlynn and Stephanie Muccini-Burke to run scared away from the racism at the hostile station that co-board member Mark Rumley laughed was rife with "equal opportunity slappers."

Allegedly - Rumley sat on a board with alleged racists Steve Marra and Frank Pilleri (I believe Rumley was on the board at the time when Marra and certainly Pilleri "served" themselves, not the public, at what a judge and Joe Fortunato both identified as a "private" public access station. Or "MCC Access" as Judge Jackson-Thompson noted.

Mark Rumley laughed in his office about the racism calling the board he served on "equal opportunity slappers."  Is this what you want in a city solicitor?  A coward who has the audacity to say he will investigate himself and other members of the board of directors?  

It took Joe Viglione with Doreen Wade and Bob Penta to shut down MCC TV3, Joe Viglione the lone voice earlier in 2013 who had to lobby to bring people back into the fight.   Without Joe Viglione's honest efforts, you would still have the racists at TV3 running the show and taking the money.
Now you have Rumley, Paul Gerety, Arthur Deluca and Steve Bertorelli, all exiles of MCC TV3, infecting and infiltrating Medford Community Media.

and Roy E. Belson, a nuisance at Medford High who proclaimed "Joe thinks I hide sexual predators at the high school." 

Jenna Tarabelsi was convicted of raping a 15 year old high school student on Friday the 13th, October, 2017.   Belson was superintendent when the suspicious Tarabelsi from Arlington Catholic was brought in to Medford, despite rumors of her having "problems."

Rumley is so conflicted it is disgusting.  Next Rumley is threatening to have CORI checks for the satellite stations, which, if you think about it, are there so people do NOT have to have a CORI check.

Rumley is anti-First Amendment and terrified that the criticisms of his alleged moonlighting at Somerville District Court on Medford taxpayer time, allegedly, his use of a taxpayer funded city e mail on the Immaculate Conception church site, his investigation of his own board of directors (at least Allison Goldsberry published a disclaimer that she was on the board for her magazine Inside Medford, which still sent Nell Escobar Coakley through the roof - even though Goldsberry admitted the conflict) 

Now look at the cowardice of Wilks, Follett-Sumney and Campbell when it comes to the racism at TV3, reiterated by Patrick Gordon:

Pat Gordon  AUGUST 29  MEDFORD TRANSCRIPT
“I don’t know about what was in the past. I do hear a lot of TV3 rumblings, but that doesn’t matter to me,” he said. “I’m here now, and there’s all this possibility.”  Patrick Gordon  http://medford.wickedlocal.com/news/20180829/new-station-manager-shares-his-vision-for-medford-community-media

SO JUST SWEEP RACISM UNDER THE RUG, PAT, AND IT DOESN'T MATTER TO YOU THAT PAUL GERETY, ARTHUR DELUCA, STEVE BERTORELLI AND MARK RUMLEY OF MEDFORD COMMUNITY CABLEVISION, INC. ARE INFECTING THE NEW STATION, YOU JUST WANT TO TURN A BLIND EYE TO BLATANT RACISM UNDER THOSE CHARLATANS?

RACISM AT TV3 IGNORED BY THE BOARD MEMBERS WHO DON'T WANT TO ADDRESS IT, THOUGH FOUR OF THE TV3 CROWD ARE STILL DETERMINING HOW THE PUBLIC INTERACTS WITH MEDFORD COMMUNITY MEDIA, ESPECIALLY TV3 BOARD MEMBER MARK E. RUMLEY
Board members focused on future
Campbell, Sumney and Wilks are aware of the criticisms of the station and of the history of TV3.
“None of us were involved in TV3,” Campbell said. “Everyone keeps bringing it up, something none of us had anything to do with.”


TV3 officials speak out on hate speech probe ... - Medford Transcript

Jul 17, 2013 - Already reeling from the denial of a $39000 quarterly payment, TV3 last week became ... The station went off the air at that time after moving from 5 High St. to a new ... “City Hall has not cooperated with us at all,” said Pilleri.

WHEN A HARDCORE REPUBLICAN LIKE JUDGE KAVANAUGH RULES IN FAVOR OF AN AFRICAN AMERICAN, AND WHEN WE SEE NO PROGRAMMING FROM THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY ON THE 'NEW' MEDFORD COMMUNITY MEDIA WITH MARK RUMLEY'S SICK INFATUATION WITH CORI CHECKS THAT ARE NOT REQUIRED, THEN NEIL OSBORNE, JAY CAMPBELL, YVETTE WILKS (who has an alleged sexual harasser with her on the board of Somerville Media Center, Joe Lynch who lusts about Mayor Curtatone's "ass" to this journalist in a facility chock full of little children a good portion of the day) and GABBY FOLLET SUMNEY and PAT GORDON, all using Neil Osborne's sickening excuse of "it goes up the food chain" (to Muccini-Burke) rather than Osborne flexing his muscles and protecting seniors, homosexuals, the disabled from the disgusting abuse by the Burke administration and her consigliere, Mark E. Rumley

Here's a little etching Mark Rumley delivered to me on or about January 6, 2014 where there seems to have been a back-door deal to shut down TV3 in exchange for not pressing charges of racism against Rumley's own former board members, allegedly.

Read it and see how things have not changed, and blacks, homosexuals and seniors are not welcome at Medford Community Media under the former TV3 board member Mark E. Rumley
