From the time I was a little boy I found myself wondering why so many people in powerful positions did little, if anything at all, to help the less fortunate. Why popular, and seemingly honest people in the community were elected by the people to represent them; only to start behaving as if they were suddenly and miraculously superior to the very people they were elected to serve. Recalling some of the teachings from Bible school about our duty to treat others, as we would want them to treat us; with love, respect and generosity-I began to wonder why so many elected officials even bothered going to church.

Having participated in countless debating sessions on street corners, living rooms, basements and just about anywhere the topic of politics came up and having volunteered on political campaigns, I ultimately ran for City Councilor in Worcester, Massachusetts.

The ungodly behavior of District Councilor Barbara Haller, who's obsession with closing down the city's only homeless shelter with absolutely no alternative plan for the homeless, served as a catalyst for me to seek office. Councilor Haller was hell bent on closing that shelter and simply throwing real people onto the streets, just like that-case closed.

It was during this time I was exposed to the REAL workings of politics. The lying, cheating, conspiratorial element, the US against THEM element, the skullduggery masked with smiles and dressed up rhetoric. All in the pursuit of POWER!

I have been censored, propped up for ridicule in local media, and pressured by TV & Radio station managers about my truthful approach in delivering my commentary and naming names.

I refuse to voluntarily relinquish my freedom of speech and freedom of expression, to those in power attempting to stifle me.

Hermis Yanis Jr. a former truck driver who suffered disabling injuries after a fall from his truck established 7 Hawks Media in 2007. His injuries were severe enough to prevent him from continuing in his career as a driver, but being an individual with tremendous drive and determination, he set out to find a new career at an age where many would simply retired with their disability benefits.

Always mindful of our responsibility to be of service to others, Hermis decided to run for elected office in his hometown of Worcester, Massachusetts, and New England's second largest city. After two unsuccessful attempts at campaigning for City Council, Hermis realized that honesty and directness were liabilities in politics and that he would better serve the community by covering politics in an honest, insightful and straightforward manner in the medial.

He first did so on a radio show he hosted on W.O.R.C. AM 1310 called "The Hermis Yanis Perspective" where his guests included City Councilors, State Senators, Police Department representatives, union officials, and the U.S. Representative in his district. In addition, candidates for various offices were also profiled and interviewed.

After reaching the almost inescapable conclusion that the vast majority of these politicians were more self-serving than selfless, and getting honest responses to simple questions seemed impossible, Hermis began doing straight-to-the-point, no holds-barred political commentaries for which he has since become known and that have understandably angered many politicians.

Moving to local cable access WCCA TV 13, Hermis produced community based one hour broadcast called "The Hermis Yanis Show" which aired Thursday evenings at 7:30 and Friday mornings at 9:00am.

Although "The Hermis Yanis Show" focused principally on the community and its people, including small business owners, Hermis found himself unable to resist adding political commentary segments to his show, which contributed to the show's sky rocketing popularity to the point that "The Hermis Yanis Show" was the top award winner at the station in both its first and second years on the air. In fact, "The Hermis Yanis Show" became the station's top award winner after being on the air for just three months! Never in the station's twenty (20) year history had a show been the top award in its first and second years, and created such a measurable impact on the community's conscience.

In direct response to his show's soaring popularity, in March of 2007 Hermis made the leap from local access television to commercial local television when he started producing / directing "Hermis at Large" on Charter Communications TV 3.

We welcome your feedback, which can contribute in a real way to making our show even better, and even more responsive to the needs of the community we serve.
