.@KSBW has an ethics in journalism problem:

1. Dan Green - KSBW's main anchor for decades, set up a business named OMG Media. It does public relations for @SVMHS - which is the entity that bogusly played the role of "fiscal agent" for the non-profit Partners for Peace.

//

2. Amy Larson was a reporter for KSBW. She cozied up to a lot of sources and flew to Costa Rica to hang out with a 2014 defeated sheriff Scott Miller.

Larson was fired from KSBW, according to well placed sources, and got a job via @Kelly_McMillin at @IndusCannabis

//
3/

Larson left that job, telling @mcweekly editor @maryrduan that the place was "very dark" and "shady".

Larson was then interviewed by two agents with the @FBI Oakland office.

Now she works for @kron4news.

3. Felix Cortez has a very cozy relationship with Salinas cocaine trafficker Mike Hackett - a key figure in Monterey County #cannabis.

(Hackett claims he cash and coke bribed @SupervisorAlejo)

Cortez is also friends with @JerryBrownGov pardoned con-man Dave Drew.

//
5/

Cortez, like Mary Duan of the MC Weekly, spiked a story on Hackett's felony probation violation - that doesn't suit the public, only special interests.

@Hearst happily employs this level of ethically challenged garbage staff.

They don't have a counter-position.

In Monterey County the voters elected a criminal to be top cop.

them. Steve Bernal was also supported by the two big shots on #CanneryRow. Ted Balestreri and Burt Cutino.

Those two and their names have long been mentioned in many a whisper campaign about narcos, money laundering and organized crime.

So Bernal isn't batting 100 here.

So there will be no national uproar about what a joke our criminal justice system is, and how it's getting worse.

There will be no credible coverage of the Panetta's yet again - walking on the line of criminality

CAO Charles McKee was allowed to send a claim to a secret office.

"Because of family connections, Bernal is capable of collecting piles of campaign contributions from ag and South County oil interests. In past campaigns, he also has been helped by the Republican Party’s ability to tap into corporate political action committees."
Christian Schneider is telling the truth here. I know. I looked into every aspect of Steve Bernal. Then. Far deeper than anyone.

... someone should ask Brandon Gesicki what he knows. Someone like the @FBISanFrancisco.

Because with much of Bernal's two campaigns there

These are two of Monterey County's wealthiest. So who is kidding whom on who the 420 players are and why they needed a corrupt kid sheriff like Steve Bernal.
