A Special GOTCHA Edition of ............, "Ask a Fake News/Propagandist Muckraker, featuring Brian Hews (or Legal Counsel)"

Its bloggin time for a special GOTCHA Edition of "Ask a Fake News/Propagandist Muckraker, featuring Brian Hews (or $250 per hour Legal Counsel), with questions GALORE, compliments of today's LA Weekly Story via Hillel Aron regarding ..........., "How a Small Newspaper Became a Big Weapon (for the Chacon Political Machine, allegedly)".

The alleged WEAPON that is the Fake News/Propagandist Muckraker for Ad Revenue (or the Chacon Family Political Agenda) Brian Hews.

Did former Montebello Unified School District Board of Education Colleagues David Vela, Edger Cisneros and Hector Chacon, support $27,000 in payments (for ads and legal postings) to the Hews Media Group, in return for positive newspaper coverage, endorsements (yes) .........., and factually-challenged attacks on political opponents?   

** Blogger's Notes: With no apologies to the supposed "Old Gray Anti-Trump Journalistic Pea-shooter on Spring Street (aka. LA Times)", we want to commend the, AGAIN "Weekly of Record (aka. LA Weekly)" for its GOTCHA Exclusive on the Brian Hews/Los Chacon News, formerly respected as the Los Cerritos Community News. The LA Weekly's Scribe Hillel Aron is to be lauded for his expansive, objective missive, regarding the DEVOLUTION of a once, award-winning Community Newspaper, into a mere, "WEAPON OF PROPAGANDA", to further the Agenda of the Chacon Political Machine ........, with litigious consequences. Normally, the INSPIRATION for our "Ask a Fake News/Propagandist Muckraker Feature", would make himself available to answer the QUESTIONS GALORE regarding today's Weekly's Missive , but as stated through Legal Counsel ......, "I am very busy, one-man show here. I write, sell, design the paper, collect bills, send out bills, IT, customer service, distribution manager."  in promoting the, NOW-documented "Brian Hews/Los Chacon Hews". Thus, we will rely on comments from his Counsel, or other alleged personas-----Scott Johnson.

What Difference Does a LA Weekly Profile Make for a Less than Average Campaign Consultant Michael Trujillo?

In honor of former Mayor Sam Blogger, turned Less than Average Campaign Consultant Michael "MEAT/Chief Parker" Trujillo's LA Weekly Profile, "How Consultant Michael Trujillo Wins (especially when the opposing candidate is terminally-ill) -- and Sometime Loses (think Measure B and most recently "The Boss D'Arcy Rizzo Call Greuel for Congress) -- Elections", we blogging flashback to this from the Mayor Sam Archives. 

This blogger's photograph of Trujillo from the now, CD 15 City Councilman Joe Buscaino's Campaign Victory Party in 2012.

The Bloggin Habit of Spin is a 24/7 endeavor for MEAT (especially when it comes with a pay check). Photo via the LA Weekly.  

**Blogger's Note: If anyone could keyboard the definitive profile of former Mayor Sam Blogger, the Drivin Ms. Daisy of Los Angeles Politics and the Less than Average Campaign Consultant Michael "MEAT/Chief Parker" Trujillo, now full time LA Weekly Writer Hillel Aron has answer that with this week's extensive missive. Love him or despise his antics (it would be easy to use the word hate, but I respectfully digress), Trujillo is one of the Los Angeles Political Scene's unique characters of the 21st Century, (kinda like the Mini Me of Rolando "The Big O" Cuevas). I have only met Trujillo twice in person and I found him to be stand offish in wanting to engage in dialog with a fellow Mayor Sam Blogger. That said, I have to admit that the persona of "MEAT" can grow on you (like a wart? maybe), but regardless whether you been on the opposite side of "MEAT" in the heat of political battle, you can't help but want to engage his persona away from politics. Ramblings aside, in honor of "MEAT's" profile, we repost the below, from the Mayor Sam archives, enjoy!!---Scott Johnson in CD 14.        

 

Michael Trujillo: King of Spin

FADE IN 

INT. OFFICE - DAY

 

ACE, A middle aged man in shirtsleeves and a plain tie sits at his desk. TRUJILLO, his young and eager to please assistant stands at his side.  There is a door in the wall behind ACE's desk.

ACE (Smith) 

Trujillo, I want you to run Prop B.

TRUJILLO

(excitedly)

Gee, thanks boss!

 

ACE

There's no opposition except a bunch of yahoos with no money. You can't fuck it up.

 

TRUJILLO

Can I give speeches and stuff?

ACE

Shut up and get me a cup of coffee.

TRUJILLO turns to face the door; kicks up his heels, opens the door and dances happily as he exits the room and closes the door behind him.

FADE OUT

(With apologies to an anonymous Mayor Sam reader)

If you enjoy seeing Michael Trujillo spin in print; here's rare footage of the newly appointed manager of Measure Boondoggle trying to spin - and not succeeding - the folks at the LA Neighborhood Council Coalition.

Watch away dum dums!

 

........, and any commentary on MEAT;s snatching of defeat from a supposedly, sure Special Interest victory, is not complete without cut and pasting Trujillo's pledge.

......"We are pretty positive that we have over 65 per cent of the votes in the city," Trujillo revealed. This measure only needs a 50-per cent vote. "I will go on record by stating right now, that if we lose Measure B, I will never work in a political campaign in my life," Trujillo promised ........, and since reneging on that pledge, MEAT has gone on to .........,

....., oh well, What Difference Does it Make!!

LA Weekly: "Mike Gatto's Blogger Problem ( with Mayor Sam)"

Why does Infant Assemblyman Mike Gatto have Bloggin Issues with Mayor Sam?

 Infant, petulant political babies grow up to be ........

 ... sinister political bullies, who know no boundaries when attacking their perceived enemies. 

The Official Headware of Gatto Truthers.

** Blogger's Note: We would like to thank LA Weekly's Hillel Aron for his brief missive on the "unique bloggin relationship" between the Mayor Sam Blog and Infant Assemblyman Mike Gatto. Apparently, there is not a day that goes by, where the Infant Assemblyman is not fixated on our bloggin commentary and who supposedly finances this medium. For the record, contrary to the myths of the Gatto Truthers, the viewpoints on this blog, are not predicated on any potential economic benefit to Campaign Consultant Eric Hacopian. Sorry "Little Mikey", but you're chances of proving your outlandish, conspiratorial claims, are worse than the odds that the Tooth Fairy, would leave you a campaign donation under your infant crib pillow. We should also note for clarification, that our past alleged use of "innuendos and rumors" in reporting on the prior actions of the "Infant Assemblyman", were in reality, factually-based documentation, supplied by a reputable republican opposition researcher, who put his name to the exclusive documents below, that in this blogger's opinion, were the basis for the Infant Assemblyman's "Legal Cease and Desist Request" against this blog. I should note in conclusion, that this blogger's paramount priority in all his past reporting on the "Infant Assemblyman", was to provide commentary based upon the facts .... and when a mistake was made, this blogger held himself accountable---Scott Johnson. 

Voters in the 43rd AD have the right to question whether Gatto defrauded public funds, while working full time on former boss Congressman Brad Sherman's Reelection Campaign. ** You can view the rest of the documents after the jump.

"Brian Johnson Myopia" breaks out in the 46th Assembly District

** URGENT BLOGGER'S NOTE: In the interest of political mental health, we focus attention this morning on what can best be described as an outbreak of post-election "Brian Johnson Myopia" among his strident supporters. The demographics most likely prone to this affliction are democrats who support Charter Schools and are in denial of the funding sources behind PAC groups such as ED Voice and others. As a public service, we post the final election tally in bar graph and numerical form. Being someone who is not a democrat and went to a LAUSD public school, I can ascertain that Adrin Nazarian was the top choice among 46th AD voters. But judging from the two examples below, "Brian Johnson Myopia" can cause major side affects to one's "political perceptual abilities"---Scott Johnson.

"Public places can spread Brian Johnson Myopia".   

The Final Vote Tally from the 46th Assembly District Race

From the Los Angeles County Register-Recorder Office

Must of been early graduates of Academia Semillas del Pueblo. 

** We highlight the signs of "Brian Johnson Myopia" in Bold

Dear Friends,

And they said we couldn't be Democrats and support kids!

Last night in the race for the 46th Assembly seat, Brian Johnson landed a spot as a top contender in the general election. A tough advocate for kids, a loud voice for change, and best of all - a Democrat - Brian beat out both the California Teachers Association endorsed candidate and four other candidates. He will now run against his final Democratic opponent in November. 

Brian's victory in yesterday's election verifies that a Democrat CAN stand up foreducation reform and STILL be a Democrat, contrary to the protests of the local Democratic Party boss! Oh yes we can! Brian cruised past the CTA endorsed candidate to move into the general election where Democratic education reformers will be strongly positioned to make our case for education reform to the voters.

Though the trail was hard fought, Brian's triumph breathes hope into education reform Democrats who have the courage of their convictions that education is the civil rights issue of our time - and are willing to fight for the change we need within our party. No longer will we simply allow special interests to dominate our party platform on education and hold reform hostage.  

So today, let us celebrate Brian's victory as a victory for students and Democrats alike! And tomorrow, in the words of President Obama, "Forward!"

Sincerely,

Sen. Gloria Romero (Ret.)

CA State Director

Democrats for Education Reform

** Then we note this case of "Brian Johnson Myopia" within the ranks of the LA Weekly. Please note numerical election results and then find the effects of "Brian Johnson Myopia" within the latest musing from our friend Hillel Aron (Hillel, get well soon!)

ADRIN NAZARIAN	DEM	9,062	27.48
BRIAN C JOHNSON	DEM	6,691	20.29
JAY L STERN	REP	6,608	20.04
ANDREW B LACHMAN	DEM	6,359	19.28
LAURETTE HEALEY	DEM	3,481	10.55
ADRIANO LECAROS	DEM	781	2.37

** From the "Formerly Weekly of Record". Again we highlight in Bold tell tale signs of Brian Johnson Myopia.

Update: Brian Johnson undid the efforts of the CTA on June 5, winning the most votes and giving the teachers union a formidable pro-charter opponent in November. 

As it seems that "Brian Johnson Myopia" is most chronic among democratic supporters of Charter Schools, we thought of reaching out to noted Academia Semillas del Pueblo Principal Marcos Aguilar and ask if his students could answer the following multiple choice question, using the data from the bar graph and numerical chart of the 46th AD Election Results.

** Who had the highest, most or largest amount of votes in Tuesday's 46 Assembly District Election?
A. The Republican who hates teacher unions.
B. Adrin Nazarian because CTA bought the election.
C. Brian Johnson because ED Voice will donate money to Academia.
D. Will comprehend once I escape Academia for a better public school.
E. The candidate with the highest number (excluding IE money). ** Qualifies for "Gifted Status" at Academia.

** Thus, if you live within the 46th AD and after viewing the bar graph and numerical chart, your political heart is still trying to override the reality thought process of brain, then seek immediate treatment for "Brian Johnson Myopia" with multiple doses of political reality. (ie. Johnson loss!!)

** Mayor Sam Exclusive: Controversial Academia Semillas del Pueblo Charter School battles popular Hecho En Mexico Restaurant

Academia Semillas del Pueblo Charter School

 When objective observers and local media are seeking answers to questions about a controversial Charter School's failing test scores and financial structure, what mode of crisis management do they revert to in seeking to redirect attention?   

 First, mobilize the educational collective against a perceived enemy of your controversial Charter School, in this case a popular El Sereno Eatery Hecho En Mexico (make it the new version of former KABC Talk Radio combatant), who has a long track record of giving back to the community. Then feign acts of malfeasance on the part of the restaurant (ie. lewd conduct, loud parties, explicit advertising) and create mass protests to condemn the alleged behavior.

 Create talking points on the alleged bad behavior of the restaurant and call upon Councilman Jose Huizar to take action against the supposed repeat offender. Remember that it is "suggested" that all members of the collective take part in protests and boycotts of Hecho En Mexico. (** Plus Academia worked hard to ensure that Councilman Huizar won the El Sereno vote in last springs election).

 

Use school resources to craft this ABC complaint letter (** For the Record, Hecho has a great ABC compliance record) and have each of your educational collective student's parents fill out the appropriate areas as "suggested" by school staff (or required by the school's "Executive Director"). ** Remember that any hesitation to support the wishes of the school's Executive Director and Principal (wife) will meet with communal denouncement and increased chances of child "referrals". 

Journalistic "dust up" over Academia Coverage between the "Weekly of Record" and "The Old Gray Hag on Spring Street".

 LA Weekly's Hillel Aron (with recorder)

LA Times Howard Blume (right) being interview on KPFK Pacifica Radio.

Bravo to the "Weekly of Record" for its calling out of "The Old Gray Hag on Spring Street's" puff piece on the controversial Academia Semillas del Pueblo Charter School. It was easy to ascertain that Times Education Scribe Howard Blume was pre-disposed to cut the failing charter school some slack in his softball missive.   This after the "Weekly of Record" set the bar for Academia coverage with Aron's excellent piece.

Here are some of the highlights of "Aron y Blume on Academia".

The Times makes no mention of why these four elected politicians voted to ignore Superintendent John Deasy's recommendation to shutter the school.The paper doesn't challenge Garcia's view that schools that experiment with children should be allowed continue churning out students who cannot read or do their arithmetic, as compared to the identical socioeconomic kids elsewhere.The paper doesn't challenge Garcia's view that experimental failing schools deserve to continue on for more than a decade, affecting many children.Toward the end of the piece, Blume includes a "let's hear from the other side" paragraph.Yet Blume doesn't choose to quote from the many groups and people on the legitimate, thinking other side who are aghast at how far behind the Semillas children are falling -- and who have cogent arguments about why this is bad.

.....  and judging from Academia's Founder Marcos Aguilar latest action against Hecho En Mexico, there will be plenty of story content in the near future for the "Old Gray Hag on Spring Street" to change its reporting track record on the failing charter. (If Blume dares crosses the elites that controls Charter Schools in Los Angeles).
