Reproving The Media

During last Thursday's County Council meeting, Bob Werner kindly reproved the media for not covering Gracedale events now that she is being managed correctly, and definitely traveling in the right direction.

Let us be clear - we are not defending Mr. Werner, he can do that very well himself, and does not need us to stand up for him. However, we are in agreement with his opinion, and we take this opportunity to share our thoughts.

We believe Mr. Werner was merely saying that the media should cover Gracedale as intensely in Good times, as they did in bad times, you know...the times when John Stoffa and Ron Angle made a mess of Gracedale, in complicity with O'Hare.

BO defending the media says they did not cover the story of Gracedale's "New Wing Opening" last Monday "because it's not particularly newsworthy or even blog worthy. Aside from pictures of a few suits, what's the point?"

In our opinion, the point in doing the other side of the story would be to illuminate the corrupt behavior displayed by Stoffa and Angle, and the fact that they were both wrong in all of their decisions relating to Gracedale. That's the point! But, perhaps because of media/politician relationships, the media chose instead not to follow the story. We're not saying that's the case...but that it is a good possibility, if not a probability.

The nonsensical ignoramus indicates that Werner failed in noticing that the event was emailed with only a days notice - ONLY a days notice??? Like the media has never responded to a Gracedale story on an hours notice.

NI goes on to inform the readers that: "when John Stoffa unveiled his 2013 Budget, there was no notice at all." He goes on to say: "In fact, there wasn't even a news conference, although The Express Times and Morning Call both have stories."

Well, there it is in a nutshell. BO makes Councilman Werner's point - dealing with the budget there was no notice, however, the media made it their business to cover the story...WITH NO NOTICE??? Yes - but, when it come to Gracedale, BO feels a days notice is too short. We have to ask...does that even make sense?

He went on to criticized Northampton County saying: "Lehigh County is much better at keeping all media outlets informed. In Northampton County, it's hit or miss. Mostly miss." We have to point out that that criticism is a direct NEGATIVE reflection on John Stoffa. Thanks for making that observation Bernie.

He continues his thoughts saying: "the press is not an ad agency." In our opinion, the media acted as an ad agency for Ron and John pushing the sale of Gracedale, but, he conveniently leaves that point out. And then continues: "It exists to inform. I get very uncomfortable when a politician starts dictating to the press about what they should and should not cover." Wow...what a statement. When Angle and Stoffa were pushing the sale of Gracedale, it was quite apparent that they were somehow manipulating the media. But, that didn't seem to make him feel uncomfortable...NO - it was okay!

Consider the referendum initiative, upon it's success, it received very little coverage. History was made in NorCo as never before, yes, history...it should have been front page news - instead it was buried in the media. Why, and by who?

And then comically he says: "I also get very leery when some members of the press are included in important stories like the unveiling of a budget, while others are either forgotten or snubbed." In our opinion,  he means he is forgotten or snubbed. Folks, Bernard O'Hare seems to believe that because he blogs he is a member of the media - a journalist...he is not! People like Stoffa and Angle presented him that illusion - but it's not real...just an illusion. And his mind is so bent that he believes their hype. If BO is a journalist...then so are we! The difference is that we understand that were not...a demented mind does not.

His last comment states: "At some point, it stops being a story and becomes managed news." This statement makes it clear that he is out  of touch with reality. Consider that during their attempt to sell Gracedale, their (Angle, Stoffa, and O'Hare) manipulation of the media, especially the Express Times was exactly that - managed news. In his ignominious mind he does not realize (or is putting on a performance) that he, in collusion with Stoffa and Angle, did exactly what he is complaining about...managed the news.

  1. Amen brothers and sisters. When the Press was playing "press agent" for Stoffa and Angle, helping dump Gracedale, O'Hare was thrilled. Of course now he is upset. We don't want good news out of Gracedale, do we.

    O'Hare has always been a huge hypocrite. You notice how he loved the drug addict lounge opening. He wore his gross green skin tight bike suit and took a ton of pictures. How is that for managing news.

    Soon the free ride for O'Hare will end with the end of Stoffa.

    The amazing thing is that since the Bethlehem Press still allows O'Hare to "report" for them, he claims to be a real journalist. I cannot to this day beleive they print his biased hateful nonsense as news.

    I know quite a few people who no longer purchase Bethlehem Press papers becasue they use O'Hare as a "reporter".

    It is disgraceful.

  2. BO is once again on his blog making childish remarks about me, saying that others were better than I was defending Gracedale against Angle and himself, as if I’m supposed to be hurt by that information, instead, I think that’s great news!!! And I am greatful for anyone who could do a better job of defending our gem.

    Truth be told however, I’m sure that Angle told Tony not to invite me because since I predicted twice on BM that Angle would not win re-election, and he did not, it would certainly be too embarrassing and painful for Angle to face me in such a public arena. And he could not bear the thought of having to publically admit that I was correct in my prediction.

    In addition, I was told that Angle doesn’t like the way I slap him with the truth. I’ll watch and tell you what I think tomorrow. GB

  3. Watched that Ianenneli show, what a disgracee. Now I know why Iannelli will only allow those Angle and O'Hare approve of to come on the show. Jerry and Grucela were OK but neither know or have a lot of facts regarding Gracedale.

    Angle was continuing to tell his big lies and had his little ghoul henchman O'Hare sitting with papers spewing out inofrmation he found on the ineternet.

    It was sad, very sad. Another staged performance by the evil twins.

    Angle claims because he is an honest man, he was not re-elected. I still don't understand why the
    Chamaber of Commerce members are willinbg to keep giving airtime to someone who was condemned by both the NAACP and ter anti-defamation league.

  5. Business Matters was a Joke. Angle once again out and out lied when he said people are complaining about a decline of care at Gracedale. He couldn't recognize the truth if it came up and slapped him in the face. Ianelli is such a farce.

  6. Sure,that's why Gracedale is finding its own way financially again.If the care was so bad, why are more people re-visiting Gracedale?
    How could anyone believe that Angle is an honest man?
    Ianelli must live in Angle's la-la land.

  7. Yeah, try going to BM on line, you can't watch the episode on line. Ianelli is losing the trust of his viewers. He is just as bad as angle.

  8. I am appalled that the Chamber of Commerce business memebers allow Ron Angle, a bigoted anti-semite to be a guest on one of their shows. I was at a business inAllentown that had the Chgamber decal on their window. So IO told them I was dispappointe din their support of Ron Angle on their TV show. The owner said he didn't know but would ask around.

    Once agian Angle made the people of District four happy that they threw him out. Just think, he Stoffa and O'Hare planed to dump Gracedale and take the money and run. Instaed, the voters dumped Angle.

    Of copurse the new O'Hare and Angle line, is that the voters were "snoockerd" by the unions.

    Soon we will be rid of Stoffa and hopefully the new crew ends the love affair with O'Hare. Then all good people across the county can once again live in peace.

  11. I am asking all people of good will to tell business owners that are Chamber of Commerce memebers, you will nnot patronize their businesses if they continue to fund programing designed to feature a person denonced by the NAACP and the anti-defamation league.
