| THE PRESS - Body Snatched: Talented? They are usually a little quieter than most (except when their dark side shines), often when you catch their eye there's a fearful flash that flickers across their eyes, they are the CORPORATE MEDIA AMONG US.... like something out of |
INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS, beware the Corporate Media is not some obscure idea, some foggy entity that exists somewhere in some high rise skyscraper far far away..... they are also in Ojai, Ventura, Santa Barbara Living among us..... true, they may be talented, but |
their true gift is in allowing themselves to be puppeted by the string pullers who attach to them from far far away in those high rise buildings............ ~ VIEW, editor |

Who Owns Your Thoughts? When the News Becomes Just Another Racket and 'Local' Becomes Just Another Marketing Buzzzz Word

Who Really "Occupies" the
Corporate Media?

Ventura's Very Own Totalitarian State
"owned" media

CORPORATE MONSTER
On PRESS OWNERSHIP |
| Govt Manipulation of the Media |
|
"Where government owns the media, citizens are poorer, die younger, have higher infant mortality rates, less access to sanitation, there is more corruption, and less developed capital markets. Where media is privately owned, the opposite is true..... By acting as the gatekeeper to the media industry, government can keep out potential media providers who might be hostile towards their policies and throw out existing media producers who do not serve its ends. In this way entry regulation gives government a powerful method of indirectly manipulating mass media." -

Another Conviction...
...for Sheldon Brown....Why indeed.... did Sheldon Brown advocate and personally Thieve The VIEW, preventing distibution of the paper? Anyone's guess what lurks in Sheldon's disingenuous self-effacing manner... but.... Perhaps because the VIEW exposed Brown (See The VIEW, Issue 17/Aug. '09, Page 5), after Sheldon ripped off a Church in Oxnard.....?
....Sheldon failed to perform on a contract.... according to a Ventura County Judge who CONVICTED Brown (see VIEW, Issue 26/May. '10, Page 18)... Find Out How the L.A. transplant, (Ventura Breeze/Publishing/Building contractor "L.A. Sheldon Brown") picked the pockets of a trusting Oxnard Church, (VIEW, Issue #17, Aug. 09) Page 5.
Said Sheldon of this moral epiphany, "...I have no intentions of returning any money."

BROWN CONVICTED: As Published in THE VIEW, Issue 25/April 2010, Page 2: The People of the State of California, Plaintiff vs. Sheldon Brown, Defendant ~ PC.490.7 (B)(A) Unlawfully Taking More Than 25 Copies of a Free or Complimentary Newspaper with Intent to Harm Competitor ~ Breeze Publisher Sheldon "L.A." Brown Convicted of Theft
|
April, 2010: Sheldon Brown, editor, publisher, and "chief bottle washer" of the Ventura Breeze was convicted April 2 in Ventura Superior Court of the Oct. 17, 2009 Criminal Theft of The Ojai and Ventura VIEW.
Brown's noted disingenuous "apologies" and rationalizations didn't wash with the DA or the court either as he received his sentence. I honestly think Sheldon is "sorry" but he is only sorry that he got caught. His pleas for sympathy were thinly disguised veils for his true unmaskable nature.
The people that Sheldon was hurting are the Advertisers of the VIEW, and as a "newspaperman" Sheldon should understand this, and know that he's hurt the VIEW advertisers. Now he has the nerve to Target the same Merchants, who his selfish actions have damaged.
Is this the kind of person you would want to advertise with?
And so, as any law enforcement officer will tell you, Sheldon's thievery, attempted censorship, subsequent lies to try to mislead, his cap-in-hand pleas to Ventura city officials (apra-pro pals & part of his stable of friend-in-hand politicians; regular Breeze propaganda 'columnists' - so an outlaw publisher for 'outlaw' politicians...) still, this was no match for the solid surveillance video (Click Here) evidence of his unsuccessful chicanery, trickery, foolery and thievery. Sheldon still owes The VIEW $140 for the 70 copies of the VIEW he stole, despite his own Oct. 27, 2009 email in which he promises, "I would be happy to pay for these papers if you will tell me where to send a check."
For Sheldon, The Ojai & Ventura View, P.O. Box 1824, Ojai, CA 93024, just as it has always been published in the VIEW box [on page 2]. Let the healing begin. We're still waiting Sheldon for the "check is in the mail..."

The Ojai and Ventura VIEW is offering a Reward to anyone else providing electronic/photographic evidence of the Theft or Destruction of VIEW papers. Ron Rowe and Mary Long will personally present a bottle of hand-picked Charles Shaw Cabernet or Merlot. For More information stay tuned !
When the public's access to information is restricted or censored, the public suffers. When an individual, or government, or other media source or media/government cohort seeks to restrict the Press and First Amendment right to Free Speech, the public suffers. When this is done in the midst of an election, the voting public and ultimately our democratic and free way of life suffers. With the U.S. in such recent dire straits, the free discussion of ideas now more than ever, is necessary to provide a way out.

Upholding The Fascist State
|
Jan. 26, 2012: U.S. Drops in Press Freedoms Ranking ::: The U.S. Dropped from #27 to #47 in Reporters Without Borders' 10th Annual Press Freedom Index 2011-2012, released Jan. 26. The report noted that U.S. Police Crackdowns (censorship, physical attacks, arrests) on Reporters during ongoing Occupy Wall Street Movements were significant. Beginning last year, this marks a dark downturn in the United States, which represents itself internationally as the world model for free democracy. A new low has now been achieved by the U.S. in utilizing totalitarian and repressive tactics to repress the free press and, in turn, suppression of an overwhelming number of U.S. citizens.

The Faux-Media and

Is your News just a little too watered down for what's really going on... They never give you the Real story? It's NO ACCIDENT! Don't forget the Mainstream Stagnant Press and the damage done.... Idiot Ventura-County-Mainstream Media & Faux Alternative-Chain-Newspapers, & idiot bloggers (Those Lazy Dawgs...) have helped enable our and are Twisting & still Sucking UP to Corporate America in Desperation, those who caused the mess in the first place. Why the struggling, sedated not-local corporate Mainstream Press (LA Based-VCReporter (LA ad rag), Star Free Press, , etc.) can't help but to the archaic failed systems of government & business as usual... How '' are you?
