So one of the LA Weekly owners is suing the rest of the LA Weekly owners because....EVERYTHING THE BOYCOTT WAS SAYING WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG. latimes.com/business/la-fi…

SELL THE LA WEEKLY YOU FAKE ARMANI CROOK @briancalle

For the last year, the LA Weekly has attacked myself & my colleagues -- some of the best journalists in LA. They claimed we made up outrageous lies, that we harassed businesses, that we were spiteful aggrieved ex-employees

This lawsuit lays out in the open what we said all along

Not only does this article outline the deplorable ethical lapses that the boycott has long callled out, it highlights an even deeper malfeasance and looting & pillaging than anyone could have known about.

Vichy LA Weekly is a fraud. We always knew it. Now there's no dispute.

WHAT A SURPRISE THAT BRIAN CALLE IS A HIGHLY PAID "CONSULTANT" AT KURVANA AND IS RUNNING RAVE REVIEWS IN PRINT WITH NO BYLINE ABOUT WAIT FOR IT...KURVANA

In which another one of the formerly secret Vichy LA Weekly owners is finally revealed and discovered to be in a plot to plunder all the resources & exploit the company he owns.

All of them from Orange County destroying the paper that once was a vital part of LA civic life

I'd say that this is astonishing if the shady and malevolent goals of Vichy LA Weekly weren't clear from the outset.

Every writer & editor that continued to scab for Semanal Media purposely lied to themselves and their community to defend the indefensible. Shameful.

Oh right, in which it's revealed that @nyjah was a secret owner of LA Weekly (?!?!)

What a shock that he got a Vichy LA Weekly cover story without disclosing that HE OWNED THE FUCKING PAPER

The most disturbing thing of all still remains the Trader Joe's incident. Where Vichy LA Weekly exploited a horrible tragedy to push pro-NRA #PeopleKillPeople propaganda.

These are vile disgusting people. We need them out of LA. Immediately!

If you have any remaining semblance of journalistic ethics or respect for the culture of Los Angeles, I assume you will resign in the wake of this news.

Once again, say it with me, loudly so everyone in the back can hear you...

FUCK SEMANAL MEDIA AS A STAFF, RECORD LABEL AND AS A MOTHERFUCKING CREW AND IF YOU DOWN WITH SEMANAL MEDIA THAN FUCK YOU TOO!!!

Oh wait, there’s more. The lawsuit reveals that the cheap crook @briancalle was behind an organized campaign to get Vichy LA Weekly employees to target and harass members of the boycott.

Remember when Vichy LA Weekly launched a Sinclair Media-esque website to gaslight the city of LA, defame members of the boycott and ultimately wind up guilty of every single boycott accusation and many more?

Sell the paper you cowards @briancalle features.laweekly.com/speaktruth/

Reminder that if you are a publicist, please don't pitch LA Weekly. If you're an artist, don't do stories with them.

We've been saying this for 9 months, but these naked revelations of their gross malfeasance represent an affront to this city, its culture & journalism itself.

At a time when the president of the united states is literally calling the press the enemy of the people, the least you can do is try to avoid collaborating with those who are actively working to debase and demolish all notions of objectivity and integrity. #BoycottLAWeekly
