His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Fresno County Superior Court Judge Jane A. Cardoza ruled the case will go to trial on all charges. Castañeda has been charged with 22 counts of battery, sexual battery, attempted sexual battery and attempt to dissuade a witness from prosecuting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='A man who accused Jesús Antonio Castañeda Serna of sexual abuse']'You start confusing God and a human being and you have trouble making the distinction between what’s good and what’s bad.'[/pullquote]Cardoza’s ruling came after nine days of testimony by nine alleged victims, most of them adult men who said the priest massaged their genitals under the pretext of a “prayer” or “healing” ritual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The court finds that the witnesses were authentic and credible,\" said Cardoza. \"Indeed, I was taken by the tone of their testimony, being humbled, quite baffled by the defendant's actions and ultimately disillusioned by him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castañeda, through his attorney, has maintained his innocence.

Most said they were referred by other congregants who claimed the priest possessed spiritual gifts and the ability to heal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the eight men and one woman who testified, Castañeda told them that they had been cursed by previous wives or girlfriends, or were possessed by a demon and needed spiritual healing. (The witnesses were named in court, but KQED is not disclosing their identities because they are alleged victims of sexual abuse.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The witnesses said Castañeda instructed them to strip down to their underwear, lay on a bench or massage table, and receive “healing” or “prayer” massages that they described as very painful. One man reported he had visible bruises for days after the massages. Prosecutor Kelly Smith presented photos showing the man’s neck with red marks, which the witness said a family member took after one of the prayer massages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The massages often ended in the priest touching parishioners’ genitals, the witnesses testified. In some cases, they described a grazing that could have been accidental. In others, they said, Castañeda grabbed their penis or testicles through their underwear or attempted to masturbate them. Sometimes the priest claimed to have removed a black or yellow substance from their penis, the men said. The woman said Castañeda touched her breasts while making the sign of the cross on her chest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11782043\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11782043\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/10232019_Castaneda3_crop-qut-800x581.jpg\" alt=\"Jesús Antonio Castañeda Serna preaches to parishioners of his new church, Iglesia del Espíritu Santo, or Holy Spirit Church.

"content": "\u003cp>Two years ago, investigative journalist Ronan Farrow published a story in The New Yorker about \u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/from-aggressive-overtures-to-sexual-assault-harvey-weinsteins-accusers-tell-their-stories\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Harvey Weinstein’s serial sexual assaults of actors and employees\u003c/a>. Farrow joined \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101873980/ronan-farrow-on-the-lies-spies-and-conspiracy-that-blocked-reporting-on-weinstein-scandal\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">KQED’s Michael Krasny on Forum on Monday\u003c/a> to talk about his new book, “Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators,” which chronicles the lengths Weinstein took to suppress this story, going so far as to hire former Mossad agents and Ukrainian operatives to obstruct and intimidate the reporting being done. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Portions of this interview have been edited for length and clarity. Listen to the full episode on Forum \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101873980/ronan-farrow-on-the-lies-spies-and-conspiracy-that-blocked-reporting-on-weinstein-scandal\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Interview Highlights\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the concept of ‘catch and kill’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Catch and kill” is an old term in the tabloid world. It refers to acquiring the rights to a story, not in order to publish it, but in order to prevent its publication. Very often this happens with sort of mundane celebrity dirt. The National Enquirer has been doing it for years where they’d have something unflattering about an affair someone had and then withhold publication and scoop up the rights to whatever person’s story was gonna be told and on behalf of that person, kill the story, usually in exchange for such and such celebrity will appear on the cover of The National Enquirer or another AMI publication or some other transactional exchange of that nature. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right']‘It’s the lifeblood of our democracy to have free access to information that can’t be fettered by the most connected and wealthy people in this country.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I uncover in the events that unravel in “Catch and Kill” is the way in which The Enquirer was engaged in this practice for Harvey Weinstein, which is a story I was able to break later in The New Yorker. And how ultimately that trail of clues led to the top, if you will, to the president’s collaborations with The National Enquirer, which were very much of a piece with that. In this book, I reveal several new cases in which there was pretty deep and substantial collaboration between Trump associates and the Enquirer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the connection between Weinstein and Matt Lauer\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book is about bigger patterns than any one media organization, although it does focus on AMI, the parent company of The National Enquirer, which was one attack dog collaborating with Harvey Weinstein to suppress these allegations. And on NBC News, which also became something of an instrument of suppression on his behalf. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s really about our profession, and the ways in which corporate and legal practices designed to sweep harassment and abuse under the rug, rather than confront it, can create a situation where serial abusers stay in power and where people potentially get hurt. And the democracy suffers because you end up with a situation where news organizations are working at the behest of powerful interests and the truth gets distorted. I talk about how that has ramifications for our political future as well. Obviously, that collaboration between Trump and the National Enquirer wound up being a significant factor in 2016. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On being followed, and other tactics Weinstein used on journalists\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People kind of make the observation that it reads like a spy thriller. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one sense, that can sound like it’s a glamorizing characterization, in retrospect. But in another, it’s a reminder of how these exotic and underhanded tactics should be reserved for the realm of, you know, John Grisham novels. They should not be directed at real-life reporters trying to break stories. We have the protections of the First Amendment in this country and of our criminal laws. Therefore, I’m careful to have a sense of perspective and note that I was not in the situation that so many journalists in Pakistan or Russia or many other parts of the world are in, where they just wind up dead if they’re reporting on powerful interests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I feel it is an important story to tell, to look at the threats that get thrown at not just me, but a whole range of journalists in this plot. And to try to galvanize us all, to say, “no, enough.” Powerful people should not be able to manipulate the press in this way and to intimidate journalists in this way. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the stories about Donald Trump that were caught and killed\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donald Trump is a significant subject of the reporting in the book. There’s new revelations about the tactics that he used to subvert the press and turn it into an arm of his campaign, essentially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AMI has, since all of these events I’ve reported on, signed a non-prosecution agreement where they have admitted that this was taking place, that they were collaborating with Trump associates to kill stories, and it is all emblematic of a wider moment of urgency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where, as you say, we have authoritarian rhetoric weaponized against the press. This characterization of us as the enemy of the people where, in fact, journalism is the only explicitly constitutionally protected profession for a reason. And it’s the lifeblood of our democracy to have free access to information that can’t be fettered by the most connected and wealthy people in this country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book is a tribute to, and a love letter to, all the reporters who stand up in the face of that and stay strong, and all the sources who refused to stop talking in the face of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth] \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Hillary Clinton’s lack of support\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m very measured about Hillary Clinton’s role in the plot of “Catch and Kill,” as I am in each aspect of the book. And you know as well as I that anytime you mention Hillary Clinton, it quickly gets transported into partisan headlines and sensationalized a fair bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reality of her role is quite minimal. She was part of a series of interviews that I was doing with every living secretary of state for my previous book, “War on Peace.” It is about the chaos at the State Department and the militarization of American foreign policy and the consequences of that around the world.

It refers to acquiring the rights to a story, not in order to publish it, but in order to prevent its publication. Very often this happens with sort of mundane celebrity dirt. The National Enquirer has been doing it for years where they’d have something unflattering about an affair someone had and then withhold publication and scoop up the rights to whatever person’s story was gonna be told and on behalf of that person, kill the story, usually in exchange for such and such celebrity will appear on the cover of The National Enquirer or another AMI publication or some other transactional exchange of that nature. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And how ultimately that trail of clues led to the top, if you will, to the president’s collaborations with The National Enquirer, which were very much of a piece with that. In this book, I reveal several new cases in which there was pretty deep and substantial collaboration between Trump associates and the Enquirer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the connection between Weinstein and Matt Lauer\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book is about bigger patterns than any one media organization, although it does focus on AMI, the parent company of The National Enquirer, which was one attack dog collaborating with Harvey Weinstein to suppress these allegations. And on NBC News, which also became something of an instrument of suppression on his behalf. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s really about our profession, and the ways in which corporate and legal practices designed to sweep harassment and abuse under the rug, rather than confront it, can create a situation where serial abusers stay in power and where people potentially get hurt. And the democracy suffers because you end up with a situation where news organizations are working at the behest of powerful interests and the truth gets distorted. I talk about how that has ramifications for our political future as well. Obviously, that collaboration between Trump and the National Enquirer wound up being a significant factor in 2016. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On being followed, and other tactics Weinstein used on journalists\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People kind of make the observation that it reads like a spy thriller. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one sense, that can sound like it’s a glamorizing characterization, in retrospect. But in another, it’s a reminder of how these exotic and underhanded tactics should be reserved for the realm of, you know, John Grisham novels. They should not be directed at real-life reporters trying to break stories. We have the protections of the First Amendment in this country and of our criminal laws. Therefore, I’m careful to have a sense of perspective and note that I was not in the situation that so many journalists in Pakistan or Russia or many other parts of the world are in, where they just wind up dead if they’re reporting on powerful interests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I feel it is an important story to tell, to look at the threats that get thrown at not just me, but a whole range of journalists in this plot. And to try to galvanize us all, to say, “no, enough.” Powerful people should not be able to manipulate the press in this way and to intimidate journalists in this way. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the stories about Donald Trump that were caught and killed\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donald Trump is a significant subject of the reporting in the book. There’s new revelations about the tactics that he used to subvert the press and turn it into an arm of his campaign, essentially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AMI has, since all of these events I’ve reported on, signed a non-prosecution agreement where they have admitted that this was taking place, that they were collaborating with Trump associates to kill stories, and it is all emblematic of a wider moment of urgency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where, as you say, we have authoritarian rhetoric weaponized against the press. This characterization of us as the enemy of the people where, in fact, journalism is the only explicitly constitutionally protected profession for a reason. And it’s the lifeblood of our democracy to have free access to information that can’t be fettered by the most connected and wealthy people in this country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book is a tribute to, and a love letter to, all the reporters who stand up in the face of that and stay strong, and all the sources who refused to stop talking in the face of that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Also reversing their pleas on Monday were parents Michelle Janavs of Newport Coast, and Manuel and Elizabeth Henriquez of Atherton. Each faces charges of fraud and money laundering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin Fox, the president of a private tennis club in Houston, also agreed to plead guilty in a deal that prosecutors announced Monday. He is charged with a single count of racketeering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities say Fox brokered bribes to help wealthy parents cheat on their children's college entrance exams at a Houston testing site. He's also accused of arranging bribes to get two students admitted to the University of San Diego as recruited athletes, and one student to the University of Texas. He will return the $245,000 he received through the scheme, according to his plea deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The four parents join 15 others who have pleaded guilty in the case, while 15 other parents are fighting the charges.

Authorities say he paid $200,000 to get his daughter admitted as a soccer recruit in 2013, and $325,000 to get his son in as a football recruit in 2015. Neither played on those sports teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='college-admissions-scandal' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hodge, a former CEO of the Pacific Investment Management Co., is scheduled to be sentenced in January 2020.

She separately paid $100,000 to help two of her daughters cheat on the ACT exam in 2017 and 2019, prosecutors said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janavs is a former executive of Chef America Inc., a food producer that created the Hot Pocket frozen snack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manuel and Elizabeth Henriquez are accused of paying $400,000 in bribes to get their oldest daughter into Georgetown as a fake tennis recruit in 2016.

He is charged with a single count of racketeering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities say Fox brokered bribes to help wealthy parents cheat on their children's college entrance exams at a Houston testing site. He's also accused of arranging bribes to get two students admitted to the University of San Diego as recruited athletes, and one student to the University of Texas. He will return the $245,000 he received through the scheme, according to his plea deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The four parents join 15 others who have pleaded guilty in the case, while 15 other parents are fighting the charges.
