KTF Media Group Celebrates One Year On The Internet

Posted on 04. Feb, 2009 by in Announcements

KTF Media Group turns a year old on February 5th, and it seems like a good time to sit down and recap on the events that brought this online publication into existence.

KTF began its life as something very different than what it would ultimately become. “We originally were planning to operate as an organization that would bring students from all over the world to the Vatican,” comments Joseph Fosco, publisher of KTF Media Group. “In fact, we wanted to transport people to the east coast last February for the papal visit. However, we were running into a great deal of red tape. Therefore, we decided to make use of our great website and talented volunteers by expressing our love for our Lord by reaching others through writing.”

Alex Sharp, who designs websites and custom content for Material Desires, is the current senior editor of KTF. “I’ve spent years working on websites and doing graphics work, but my real love is writing and editing. While I got to do a little of that putting together websites, now that I’m at KTF I’m up to my ears in pen and paper work. It is a refreshing change of pace. The job started out as a design gig and became something much bigger.”

Mr. Fosco, who is endlessly busy with the work surrounding KTF’s day to day operations, is also one of the more prolific writers. “I definitely find the writing fulfilling. I love receiving phone calls and emails from readers who enjoy the many great articles published by KTF. I have met a large number of people from all over the world.”

Some of the investigative pieces done at KTF have elicited serious attention, and not only from readers. Mr. Fosco was able to recall a few strange phone calls and visits concerning articles. “My articles on the disgraced Dr. Giacchino triggered a visit from the FBI and DEA, so there has been some interest outside of the traditional readership. I would suspect that my latest article on the Cerone’s and Rudy Fratto might ignite some fallout as well.

    Why didn’t Mr. Fosco show up for his trial against Dr. Giacchino? 08 L 002162. Cook County Law Division. Case dismissed on the eve of trial for want of prosecution. It is a valid question that deserves an answer. Mr. Fosco made a lot of noise about the Doctor in his columns. But when it came time to prove it, he was nowhere to be found. What’s up with that Mr. Fosco?

      Dear Mike,

      Thank you for your concern. I am not sure about which of the two suits in state court you are referring to that I filed against Giacchino. One was for malpractice and the other was for privacy breaches. I voluntarily dismissed the malpractice suit because it would have cost me over one hundred thousand in legal expenses (I was Pro Se, but needed to hire a lawyer that specialized in med mal). However, as to the privacy suit, I was unable to adequately respond to Giacchino’s motion for summary judgment because on one of the days that I had court, ‘someone’ threatened me that if I went to court I would be killed (of course this is a matter of record). Instead of going to court that day, I worked with the authorities. Unfortunately, I am unable to go into details as the judicial matters between Giacchino and I are not over, despite how things may appear right now. Again, thank you for your concern.

      In the interest of fairness, one should ask why Giacchino voluntarily dismissed his lawsuit against me for defamation (I know why, because everything that I have written about him is true). No one threatened him before his court date.

        Dear Mr. Fosco

        I was referring to the intentional tort suit you filed for $2.6 million dollars under docket no. 08 L 002162. Which I clearly cited in my post. So I’m not sure what you are unsure about.

        I guess your position would be that you abandoned your law suit because you were threatened. Tough to dispute. Also tough to believe. It has the feel of a paranoid fantasy. If you are telling the truth. Good luck to you.

          Dear Mike,
          Right, one case number but several counts. The med mal portion was voluntarily dismissed. The privacy portion was dismissed because of the threat that had been made; however, the identity of the perpetrator remained under investigation. Evidence of the threat is irrefutable and was verified. Unfortunately, I am not at liberty to go into details at this time. Yes, of course I am telling the truth. Thank you for the ‘good luck’ wish.
