The state of #journalism in Monterey County.

Wine lobbyist tweets out mystery tweet.

Managing editor of @mcweekly, forever on the lookout for #breakingnews quickly responds.

Meanwhile MoCo is saturated with BRIBE taking politicians and dirty businessmen who are ...

@Gannett

Robbing the community while killing newspapers.

Does that sound extreme?

This is a town billionaire telling @Gannett Salinas Cal. @salnews, he doesn't much care for the news ... BUT when he does, it better be sweet to him.

(Bruce Taylor of @YourTaylorFarms)
@DarwinBondGraha

It was public relations. That's the key news that dominates the interests of MoCo intelligencia while Rome burned.

That PG council meeting was entertaining.

Coming to 420 the government is revealing itself as the burdensome corrupt mafia it has become. Marijuana, a plant.

Government first said it made everyone refer mad.

Then government then said (after decades of throwing

.@bradleyzeve has a bias, why?

"Thus far, the rest of the Monterey County press corps has declined to take on this topic, partly because of tensions between the local media & Schneider while he was running Bernal’s successful sheriff’s campaign in 2014." voicesofmontereybay.org/2020/12/12/sta…

@mcweekly

2/

The @mcweekly has no business withholding important news from the community they serve because they are butt-hurt over a political consultant who ran a campaign for @SheriffBernal (a guy @bradleyzeve has gone soft on because of his weird relationship with Armanasco & Panetta)

@mcweekly

3/

But even the claim that it's "hurt butts" causing local, dilapidated print journalism, like the @mcweekly, @MontereyHerald and @salnews to ignore the illegal and consequential conduct of Steve Bernal following his 2014 Sheriff's race win.

It isn't.

If anyone would be holding a grudge against Schneider it shouldn't be *what's left of* local print journalists, *they* weren't threatened by rogue cops - with death. Schneider didn't threaten to kill anyone, he's a campaign consultant. He behaves exactly like Plasha Will

without all of Plasha Will's lawbreaking. (Believe me if I had found something juicy about CS when he ran Bernal's 2012-2014 campaign, I would have yelled about it from a variety of marketing platforms)

... State Senator, and corrupt politician, @CASenCaballero was hand delivered a non-profit when she was Mayor of Salinas. Caballero needed to make a little bread so other, more powerful politicians hooked up "Partners for Peace" to pay her $100,000 per year for three years using

"The federal government has lagged behind as states like California continue to modernize how we regulate and decriminalize cannabis," said Congressman Panetta.

Jimmy Panetta's consultant, Plasha Will, is written into a sub-lease agreement that her firm, PFW Consulting and Dave Potter's, Potter Consulting, must be retained for marijuana advising when anyone sub-leases from Mike Bitar.

The guy on the far left is Bitar:

Does that seem like clean, ethical conduct, closely linked to a United States Congressman who has also taken things of value from Bitar's associated group, Grupo Flor.? Who rents office space in #Salinas from Mike Bitar.
