What is it about the Fullerton Observer that sparks the passions of Fullerton residents? Some hail it as a beacon of “progressive” enlightenment while others see it as nothing more than an instrument of quasi-socialist propaganda. It is certainly either of these things, depending on one’s ideological point of view – and a whole lot less. Click here to read more.

Tony has an axe to grind with the good folks over at the Observer because they view his developments with a critical eye.
Get over it!
Hey, Art: Tony seems to be another SMS in the making–someone who posts here only to promote another website. Tony: Nothing against you, but if you’re going to post on OJ, post substance instead of links.
Gustavo,
I offered Tony the opportunity to blog here so he could augment his blog’s readership. I think he might add a paragraph or two more in the future.
We will be at Norby’s Holiday party today, at his office, at 3, so I invite you to come down and chat with Tony in person. He is a great guy. He causes as much trouble in Fullerton as I do in Santa Ana…
Publius: Examples?
Publius,
What are you talking about? Tony’s projects have never been criticized by the Observer. In fact the last time Tony had a project reviewed in Fullerton, it was the present Editor’s father who supported Tony. Tony activism is derided by the Observer because he is critical of the developers of other projects who give big donations to Kennedy’s sacred cow “Democrat” Council Members. He’s just doing the job that a small town “newspaper” should be doing.
Here is a great example of how the Observer is 100% political:
Last year and into this year, the Observer published stories about downtown Fullerton’s problem nightlife citing urination, noise, trash and vomit.
Interestingly, when the planning commission heard Rocoe’s outdoor music issue which is a BIG deal in our city, the Observer didn’t even mention it. They didn’t cover the fact it was going to happen, any decisions, nor did they even mention the fact it was appealed to the City Council with a new hearing. They didn’t mobilize their base, they didn’t do ANYTHING!
For a publication focused on pointing fingers and complaining, they really don’t want things fixed. Fixing would mean the editor would have to find stories. Oh no, work!
In actuality, Kennedy (editor of Observer) favored Dick Jones (only b/c Bushalla DIDN’T want him) and she knew his connection with “campaign backer” Jack, owner of Roscoes.
She is 100% political. She can be influenced and is never impartial. The Observer is not news, rather ‘advertainment’.
The observer is a great paper.
It is representitive of a lost treasure (along with the store at El Capitain)of California.
I wouldn’t call it a ‘paper’… more like a ‘fish wrapper’…
Hey. Using OUR photo without permission is called plagiarism. The local edition of the Register used that same photo, facing the opposite direction, to capture the feelings about our entry in the Rose Parade float last Friday. The caption read: “MISSION VIEJO. “What, Me Worry”
Larry,
If thanks are in order, then thanks. The image is found under images on Google. Didnt look particularly proprietary at the time.
