SCROOGE BREANNA HAS HER TIN CUP OUT WHILE STEALING YOUR ACCESS TELEVISION THIS CHRISTMAS

 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."




CCTV SENDS 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.
