"Election law issue curbs Court TV"

[longtimefirsttime]

In a previous thread by jobdone (the parking on lawns issue):

From what I gather from the notice on Cable TV channel 22, there is some kind of election laws being violated. " Due to the concerns about election laws, the court has requested that MCTV not record some court proceedings". "MCTV is commited to bringing as much coverage as we are able".

I think the whole thing is stupid. Centrone is a Magistrate and has been on TV for years. What difference would a few more months make? If the person running for office was a TV news person would they have to give the opposition equal air time? Its his job.

I love how Tom and John had nothing to do with this :bs:

I am sure that the former Kerry for President Lawyer stumbled onto that channel on his latest trip to Massillon :bs:

Perhaps if Tom had done equal time in public service he would have had equal time on TV?

I wonder if we could expect this same honesty from him as a judge if he gets elected?

Didn't Tom serve as Law Director? And, remember Centrone was appointed not elected as Tom was for Law Director.

Massillon Catholic. Don't you think the Ferreros have spent enough time on goverment payrolls?

Centrone has spent 16 years as the Court Magistrate, some part time, some full time." Experience is a terrible thing to waste ."

I couldn't agree more! What a CROCK of crap this is! Anyone with half a brain can figure this one out. It absolutely disgusts me that someone is crying about an unfair advantage because they are being televised doing their job:thumbsdown:

That seals it right there for me.....there is NO way I would even consider giving my vote,( or my husbands lol) to Ferreros after reading this nonsense!
