"A publicist is a person whose job is to generate and manage publicity for a public figure, especially a celebrity, a business, or for a work such as a book or film. Publicists can be local, regional or national level. They can also have special expertise in areas such as entertainment or literary publicity. An older meaning of the term is closer to pamphleteer: someone who circulates ideas by publishing them, perhaps in ephemeral forms."Just before the municipal election last year, The Langley Times began to embark on new territory. While other candidates were forced to pay for high-priced election advertising, The Times allowed members of the Green/Richter slate to use their Letters to the Editor as free publicity and advertising.
Since the election we have been The Langley Times Editor Frank Bucholtz use his Opinion page to advance the agendas of Mayor Green, Councillor Richter, and now the NDP. In fact, Bucholts had an Opinion written by Langley Tmes Al Irwin removed one Sunday evening earlier this year after the mayor called his home to complain about the article that appeared online. You can read the full piece here, even though The Langley Times removed all traces of it long ago. Bucky and the mayor certainly did not want you to see this.
In our Opinion, Editor Frank Bucholtz is the new Publicist for the Green/Richter slate and the NDP. Now that Bucky got two of Green slate elected, he has moved on temporarily to the the pamphleteer for the NDP. Be warned, his opinions are meant to create an outcome. So, is this editor of the local rag a pamphleteer or a puppeteer?
The "other" blog has just posted an open endorsement for the NDP candidate for MLA for Langley. Councillor Richtor slams Councillor Bateman for his BC Liberal affiliation, but she how now shown her true NDP colours. You will recall that Richter ran under the NDP banner and lost in the past.
Kim Rihcter's NDP Support & Endorsement from the other blog:
The Langley & Provincial Liberal arrogance of their blatant right of entitlement to interfere with our Langley municipal elections on School Board and Langley Township and most recently the blackmail shotgun approach on the Glover overpass is unfathomable and grossly disrespectful of our electorate. We must teach them a lesson that they will long remember. Please Vote to oust Polak and Coleman.

I guess that puts Bucholtz in the same category as Kent Spencer and Brian Lewis - biased, easily scooped and not balanced reporters. Last term Richter whined every time she wanted publicity to Kent Spencer,now that illustrious group includes Bucholtz and Lewis. I guess their Blog must not have a wide audience or the Editor is overwhelmed or underachieving, so they have to look elsewhere for editorial support. Maybe through this expose of his well known bias Buchlotz will realize that a balanced reasonable approach will do his employer well and make his job secure!
A friend of mine has sent two letters to the Times opposing Green's plans and they have never been printed. But Sonja Paterson, Rick's slatemate, gets hers in all the time with her picture.
Man, finally a media where the truth is told and the hypocrites exposed. No wonder why that other guy hates you so much. That just means the Langley Record is doing the right things. You don't want those people loving you.
I do not read either paper much any more. Neither editor ever says much of anything any more and when they do they are usually factually wrong because they are too lazy to show up to any meetings where decisions are made.
Editor - after all that has taken place why would that surprise you? She has the gall to attend Rich's fundraiser (I bet on a free ticket too!) and now this admission. And guess what I have heard.....the NDP candidate to be is a delegation at the next Council meeting. Well bless my sole...Richter announces her support just prior to Stephany's March 23rd appearance at Council, a TV night. Watch the smile pasted on to her face as she asks the questions. That mug of hers and hair doooooo will be front and centre with her newest friend. Wow, if I was Stephany I would dump her and Bob like a hot potatoe as they are a huge liability and have proven it over and over. Others have commented her and I am sure now that she has come out of the closet and identified with the NDP her skeletons will be exposed. What a revelation, what a traitor, what a fickle politician (who can she beriend next)! Amazing and sad, I feel sorry for her and her husband, very, very sorry!
I also feel for the NDP party thathas adopted a huge anchor...my predicitin - they stink, oops sorry 'sink'!
Hmmmm. The way Kooky Kim has hated Mary from day 1, it is almost like she and Bonehead Bobby wanted that seat for her. Of course, the Liberals were probably not too keen on a died in the wool Glen Clark New Democrat running for them.
Once a socialist always a socialist.
Kent Spencer = Laziest. Reporter. Ever!!
One very snowy Sunday afternoon last winter, I was driving with a well-connected buddy when his Blackberry rang. It was Kent Spencer phoning him. Mr. Spencer proceeded to then ask if it was worthwhile for him to make the trek from his homestead in North Vancouver to this far away hinterland south of the Fraser for the council meeting the next night. My buddy proceeded to tell Mr. Spencer that he was in no position to do Mr. Spencer's job and that he should report for himself the next night. Kent Spencer decided therefore it was not worth the trip and thus never showed his face, but relied upon another sour councillor for information afterwards.
Thank goodness Al Irwin has integrity!
Kooky Kim = NDP.
That sign was true in 1999 and it is true today.
Also do not forget the CUPE BC president's endorsement of Rick Green in the Advance letters a few weeks ago.
