Even though the students voted to overturn the ban, the University left the TV station off. Don't see how that's a win.



The University said before the vote they would leave the station off; that ended up working in our favor, as it reminded every student on campus what a bullshit bunch of liars they were. When AB 2581 came up, there were concerns raised in the Assembly were that they did not have a case in California where a student media organization was closed down. After I met with Yee's office they used our situation as part of the argument for the law to be passed.

The Free Speech coalition link. A text search, "Stevie" didn't show up. Were you just some guy tagging along the Coalition was happy to have along to make their group look bigger?



I'm in the top right of that picture shit bird. I went up with FSC, and ended up hitting it off with a lot of staffers as I was one of the few people around their age and quite a few had seen me on the news or had gone to other UCs and had followed it as it unfolded over a year and a half. Someone thought enough of it that Layne Winklebeck (before being fired from the incompetent FSC) was being sent press releases about the status of the bill over six months. He asked me if I knew anything about it and told him I'd gone in after lobbying days and talked to the Pro Temp's office; they kept FSC in mind with that bill. Its the type of good press they could have used; considering all FSC has done in three years is fail at every step on all sorts of issues (The Supreme Court just rejected their 2257 challenge...how much money did that fucking cost?)

Glanced at the "law protecting students free speech" for student newspapers link. What the student paper did at the university I went to, they just said fuck the university and turned it into their own business, actually making money for the reporters. That's how your supposed to do it. Genuine independence. Not create some bullshit laws so you can run your mouth on the tax payer's dollar while the administration finds a way around your nonsense. Such as, shutting down the newspaper, that rings a bell?



Thanks for the useless info...you freelance as a Communications Professor in your off time? I print two newspapers in my free time so I'm well aware of the possible profits when you print independently; how do you get an independent television signal out of curiosity?

Monkey's light on you, searched Stevie on XPT and saw some Youtube link to a parody you did of guys playing softball. The joke was, the guys were fucking gay! How's that for comedy gold? Did Howard play it at some convention or something? So what. If Hank the angry dwarf had made a video, he'd have played that too.



Uh, Howard played part of it on the air, discussed it, and Howard 100 News did two stories on how it was giving Artie's "Beer League" some good advance press and publicity. Worked out fine for us...all the porn publicity and traffic helped my production crew seal a movie, book and website deal with a major Hollywood company thats worked out well financially (My sound guy ended up taking a full time job with them). Though the movie's locked up in development hell due to problems with the company, everything else has worked out fine.

You're one of those guys with self-realization problems. It looks like you had some fun wasting time and getting in trouble. Just leave it at that. I wouldn't go looking like a fool running your mouth about how successful it all was.



Yeah, whatever.
