Letter to Issuing Authority Mayor Breanna on the Access TV (NO AUDIO) DEBACLE at the City Council on Tuesday night 12/22/2020 MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME, THEIR KARMA WAS MY CHRISTMAS GIFT!

 Breanna Lungo Koehn

Issuing Authority
85 George P. Hassett Drive
Medford MA 02155

The Goal is to improve community media in Medford.   Currently it is a disgrace

1)AWARDING STATION MANAGER WHILE BAD AUDIO EXPOSES PAT GORDON AS A FRAUD
The Zoom meeting of the city council was so bad that one councilor, I believe it was George Scarpelli, was blaming "someone" (obviously this writer) for "sabotaging" the Zoom. 

They all had a good chuckle over that.

No, George no need to sabotage when Patrick Gordon can't operate true PUBLIC access for the community. 

There it was, for all to see.

2)CITY COUNCIL LOVES CONTROLLING THE MESSAGE
Nicole Morelli was quick to jump in and blame "the internet" and try to spin the blame away from the person in charge screwing up in front of your very eyes.

Really, Nicole?       Believe Nicole, or your own eyes and ears?


3)HOW DOES THIS IMPROVE MEDFORD COMMUNITY TELEVISION?
The audio/visual not working, but you are praising someone undeserving of an award.  Patrick Gordon paid cable TV monies to get the ACM notification which better stations,
with merit, are denied simply because they can't afford it!

4)SOLUTIONS
There are OTHER platforms beyond Zoom that work much more efficiently.  We have one in the music industry for our interviews and it has been flawless, thus far.  

But Medford doesn't want to improve offering the citizens paying the freight low brow television and inefficient cablecasts.

5)MICHAEL MARKS BIG LIE ABOUT THE OTHER ACCESS STATIONS
Imagine going up to the Academy Awards show to win an "award" for audio/visual - and being the person in charge of the very audio - and there in front of the world the work ethic was there for all to see - no audio...repeatedly.

It was the ultimate in karma - a pay-to-play award     

So Michael Marks notes that Somerville, Malden and Arlington have staff and Medford doesn't.

Mr. Marks knows that was dishonest, that there's approximately 1 million dollars in P/E/G money with about 60 percent going to "the general fund," about 20 percent wrongfully going to pay teacher salaries, and another 20 percent for the high school station,.    Medford Community Media, a name they stole from my Community Media Medford proposal to Mike McGlynn, is a government / high school station.

When I spoke to the ACM about Pat Gordon allegedly pulling the wool over their eyes they said "We take people at their word."  Yes, because the money for these awards is too appealing to the non-profit Alliance for Community Media.

I didn't see Mr. Scarpelli at the ACM when I attended.  He was too busy screwing up as chaperone when RAPES occurred in Otis, Mass.  RAPES.  Scarpelli was sued when a student litigated against George and others for wrongfully accusing him.

Zac Bears wasn't at the ACM...he was too busy praising a convicted felon on the school committee.

Get the picture yet, Medford?  Rick Caraviello lied to the police and lost in criminal court, 1/31/17.  You want praise from Michael, Rick, Zac and George, Mr. Gordon?

Of course you do, because you are as disingenuous as they are.  Birds of a feather praising a joker who cannot even supply good audio to a public cablecast of a city council meeting.

6)AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN
8:40 pm Michael Marks is speaking on TV43 Verizon and he's got no audio!
 
MEDFORD COMMUNITY MEDIA would not exist if Joe Viglione hadn't fought hard to shut down Medford Community Cablevision, Inc.

Then Adam Knight, the "hero" of public access (NOT) shows his ignorance lashing out at TV3...but he didn't do the heavy lifting.

I did.

My complaint on Patrick Gordon and MCM is that it is a fraud access station - a government/high school channel defrauding the public with policies and procedures that are
designed to keep the community out.

Tonight's fiasco was wonderful for my purposes of removing Pat Gordon for just that: a charlatan operating a fraud public channel to the benefit of the few.

Mr. Knight never showed the citizens the Twitter account to nowhere.   Or the classes with no attendees to speak of, the ghost of an access station.

Well, know this: I didn't come this far in my goal of helping the community to stop now.

I was there on Zoom and chose not to participate.  Why?  The video is too valuable as evidence:

---bad audio
---an award for Pat Gordon who cannot even GET good audio for his own false praise from a despicably inept and corrupt city council
---my complaint that this is government run access, and the government praising the unqualified individual who serves his masters well,
to the detriment of the community.

Our community Christmas gift to issuing authority Mayor Lungo-Koehn, to the phony award-winner Mr. Gordon and the city council with the unclean hands,
a complaint to the AG's office tomorrow which will also be filed with the Alliance for Community Media

You doubt me?

Ask the board of directors of the Medford Housing Authority, Bob Covelle, Frank Pilleri, TV3, Mayor McGlynn and disgraced ex council president Robert A. Maiocco.
They know all about my handiwork!

I'm very effective...and you already know my New Year's RESOLUTIONS.

Happy New Year.  I guarantee that it will be!   For real community access TV producers.

Breanna, TV3 massacred you and Stephanie and Bob.   One person fixed the problem for you.

Joe Viglione cleaned up the mess they made of your reputation, you thanked me,
and now you are mayor.

It's better to give than to receive. So while you are begging for money at Christmastime,
I'm offering the community true free speech and public access.

Something that Michael Marks loves for himself, and loathes for everybody else

Stay tuned...this is going to be fun!
