Cutting My Teeth

By Richard Matz Publisher/writer

B

ack in 1963 I arrived in Los Angeles and immediately began looking for work. I bought the sunday Los Angeles Times newspaper which was 4 inches thick. My whole lineage had always been in printing from books to newspapers all away back to the Gutenberg press . Johann Gutenberg who printed the first bible back in the 1400 century was part of my lineage . My father worked for the Pittsburgh PostGazette, my grandfather worked for the Pittsburgh Sun and my uncle worked for the Pittsburgh Press , so unbeknownst to me I had printers Ink in my veins from birth.

While looking through the Sunday Times I thought as large as this paper was they must need help and low and behold I saw a Los Angeles Times ad for a sales rep , but they were looking for a college graduate and I only had 2 years of college under my belt. But I figured what the hell being from back East I was very aggressive and set my mind to getting the job .

Monday morning I showed up at the Los Angeles Times employment offices and presented my resume to a young lady sitting at the front desk. She looked at my resume and said “ you only have

4

2 years college and the position is for a college graduate , but I’ll file your resume and if anything comes up we will give you a call .

She then sat my resume down on her desk and left the room to go to lunch.

I was sure my resume was headed for file 13 , that’s the rubbish basket. So I picked up the resume , walked to the door that said Mr. Flaness Personnel Director. I knocked on the door and a voice inside said come on in which I did.

I told Mr. Flanders that I came for the sales job and handed him my resume .

He scanned it rapidly and said I’m sorry young man you have to be a college graduate. And I told him you don’t have a college graduate in this building that’s a better salesman than me . He looked at me with a quizzical look and said you’re a pretty cocky fellow and my answer to him was “ I’m not a cocky fellow I’m just a great salesman “ and all I need was an opportunity. If you hire me and I fail you don’t have to pay me . He said to me “ do you think you’re a good enough salesperson to sell some of our sales managers “ and I said “ of course without a doubt “. He said can you come back tomorrow for an interview with one of the managers and I said just give me the time . He said “ be here at 8:00

AM sharp “ .

I came back Tuesday and sold the 1st manager . I came back Wednesday and Thursday and sold the next two managers . I thought to myself “ after 3 interviews were they hiring me to run the damn newspaper “ ! Then on Friday I was in a room with all 3 managers and the big boss of the advertising department.

He said to me “ you’ve managed to convince these 3 managers that you have the ability to do the job but you’ll have to convince me “. Let me ask you the 1st question “ what type of money do you think you can make here at the Los Angeles Times . I paused for a moment and then ask him how much money he was making? There was dead silence in the room then all of a sudden he bust out laughing and then the 3 other managers joined in . He said to me you can start Monday , be here before 8:30AM .

I worked for the Times for 9 years making $12 ,000 a year plus we received cost of living raises each year . But I wanted a merit raise as I was one of their top salespersons . When they wouldn’t give me a $15 dollar a week raise I went for an interview at the Long Beach

Independent Press Telegram and was hired immediately with a $15,000 salary per year . I became the salesperson to handle all 10 of their supermarkets …

Vons , Lucky’s , Safeway . A&P , Krogers , Albertsons , Ralph’s and 3 mom & pop smaller markets . In two months I became their top producer doubling their revenue from $300,000 to $640,000 thousand a year and I was taking the new revenue from the LA Times . One year to the day I got a call from my old boss Chuck McKenny offering me $25,000 per year . I was thrilled to death that Mother Times wanted me back in herbarms at twice my old pay just 1 year earlier ! I immediately went to my boss at the Press Telegram and told him the offer from the Times and he said ‘We can’t match that and you should take their offer “ which I did . It was one of the biggest mistakes I ever made ! The Times just wanted to neutralize me as I was hurting their market revenues and they treated me like dirt in less than 2 years . I quit them moved to Solana Beach and became the Advertising manager at the San Dieguito Citizen .Three months later the paper burned to the ground and the rest is History …I started the MilitaryPress and I’m now approaching 50 years publishing the Press !

Freedom of the Press

T

he freedom of the press, protected by the First Amendment, is critical to a democracy in which the government is accountable to the people. A free media functions as a watchdog that can investigate and report on government wrongdoing. It

is also a vibrant marketplace of ideas, a vehicle for ordinary citizens to express themselves and gain exposure to a wide range of information and opinions.

The rise of the national security state and the proliferation of new surveillance technologies have created new challenges to media freedom.

The government has launched an unprecedented crackdown on whistleblowers, targeting journalists in order to find their sources.

Whistleblowers face prosecution under the World War One-era Espionage Act for leaks to the press in the public interest.

And in the face of a growing surveillance apparatus, journalists must go to new lengths to protect sources and, by extension, the public’s right to know.

When press freedom is harmed, it is much harder to hold our government accountable when it missteps or overreaches.

In 2022, the eight countries with the most press freedom are, in order: Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Portugal, and Costa

www.militarypress.com

Rica. Notice the US is not amongst the top ten ! The eleven countries with the least press freedom are, in order: North Korea, Eritrea, Iran, Turkmenistan, Myanmar, China, Russia , Vietnam, Cuba, Iraq, and Syria.

Sullivan Vs New York Times In 1960, the New York Times ran a fullpage advertisement paid for by civil right activists. The ad openly criticized the police department in the city of Montgomery, Alabama for its treatment of civil rights protestors. Most of the descriptions in the ad were accurate, but some of the statements were false.

The police commissioner, L. B. Sullivan, took offense to the ad and sued the New York Times in an Alabama court. Sullivan argued that the ad had damaged his reputation, and he had been libeled. The Alabama court ruled in favor of Sullivan, finding that the newspaper ad falsely

represented the police department and Sullivan. After losing an appeal in the Supreme Court of Alabama, the New York Times took its case to the United States Supreme Court arguing that the ad was not meant to hurt Sullivan’s reputation and was protected under the First Amendment.

Decision: The United States Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of the continues on page 8

Freedom of the Press newspaper. The Court said the right to publish all statements is protected under the First Amendment. The Court also said in order to prove libel, a public official must show that what was said against them was made with actual malice – “that is, with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard for the truth.

“It’s hard to overstate the importance of the case and its effect on the law and on our politics. As the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist, himself a critic of the case, said, Sullivan “altered the rules of the game of American politics, and speech, as a matter of fact,

The Military Press has experienced attacks on the paper by the Biden Administration for our editorials favoring Trump’s policies while criticizing Biden’s inept policies on Afghanistan , Gas , Inflation , the Border Crises and our Weak Foreign policies .

Bishop Garrison, a senior adviser to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin tasked with addressing “extremism” in the armed forces, would appear to have

his own history of extremist views, as it emerges that he has claimed all Trump voters support racism and has called for curbing free speech online. In two series of tweets, both written in the summer of

2019, Garrison went after supporters and donors of the former commander-inchief, arguing that those who defended the 45th president were supporting “a racist” and his beliefs.” Funny … black

PADRES PITCHERS W

ith camp underway, San Diego’s rotation suddenly looks a whole lot more complete. That’s true both short and long term.

Let’s start with the short term. The Padres have agreed to a deal with veteran right-hander Michael Wacha (a deal which is pending a physical and has not yet been confirmed by the club).

The way I see it, that just might solidify the Padres’ 2023 rotation -- and perhaps their roster planning as a whole.

They wanted to open the year with a six-man rotation, considering the success they had with that strategy last season. (That doesn’t mean they’ll use six starters all year, but it’s how

they’d prefer to open the season, at least.)

The addition of Wacha gives them six starters: Yu Darvish, Joe Musgrove, Blake Snell, Wacha, Nick Martinez and Seth Lugo.

That’s a formidable rotation, with another half-dozen Minor League options capable of stepping up in the event of injury. The Padres had already built a deep bullpen and bench, so it’s possible the Wacha move was the finishing touch on the 2023 Opening Day roster. (Then again, with A.J. Preller as general manager, a roster shakeup always seems possible, doesn’t it?)

The Padres have offered Machado a five-year, $105 million extension that would kick in after the remaining five years and $150 million on his current deal runs out. Machado, meanwhile, has has countered with a 10-year, $400 million extension that would begin in 2024. Star third baseman Manny Machado has a difference of opinion when it comes to the value of a potential contract extension. About $145 million worth of difference, to be precise. In such a scenario, he would opt out of his current deal after this upcoming season. Let the negotiations begin. Just don’t expect Machado to budge too far off his current request, at least based on recent comments: Manny said ”There’s a lot of money out there , a lot of money “ . These owners are making a lot of money, and we’re bringing a lot of money too. ... We’re having a good time and filling up the seats. It’s about business. These are things that happen. The market has changed from when I signed five years ago. It’s changed tremendously. Things change and evolve , as a player that’s about to opt out, it’s pretty good to see.” www.militarypress.com

GOLF TIPS

GOOD VISION

A lady had been taking golf lessons and was playing her very first round of golf when she was unfortunately stung by a bee. She was in agony and decided to head back to the clubhouse to get some medical help.

Her golf instructor saw her heading back and asked “you were only out there ten minutes, why are you back so soon? what is the matter?”

The lady replied “A bee stung me!”

The instructor asked “Where abouts?”

The lady replied “Between the first and the second hole”.

WIFE PROBLEMS My wife just stopped and said “You weren’t even listening were you” I thought, that is a pretty weird way to
