Blog Author's Comments: Socialist, Authoritarian Mayor Bill DiBlasio's Security Detail Grabs and Carries Away Reporter Who Dared To Ask a Question.
Here's Brian "Tater" Stelter's coverage. Just kidding. Tater doesn't cover cases of leftwing politicians attacking the press. No one at CNN does.
So here is the NY Post, let to stand up for its own reporter, alone.
Mayor Bill de Blasio is a such a big believer in the free press that he let two bodyguards physically remove a credentialed Post reporter who had the boldness and audacity to ask him a question in public on Sunday.
The unusual muzzling unfolded at the start of the annual Dominican Day Parade in Manhattan, where the reporter sought de Blasio's reaction to The Post’s front page story about his administration’s many meetings with lobbyists.
It also came after his Honor appeared on national TV Sunday to proclaim, "I believe in a free, strong media with diverse views -- I'll defend it with all I've got."
Just two hours later, after de Blasio cut a ribbon to kick off the parade and was posing for photos near West 37th Street and Sixth Avenue, the reporter asked him to comment on the Page One "CITY FOR SALE" story.
Instead of answering or even declining to answer the question, the mayor watched as two members of his NYPD security detail approached the reporter -- who was wearing a police issued press pass around his neck -- with one grabbing his shoulder and leading him away from the mayor.
And This:
Gallup Poll: 62% of Americans Say Fake News Media Is Biased; 44% Say Fake News Media Is Inaccurate
The consequences and continuing aftermath of CNN's crack-journalist, Jim Acosta are trash and garbage.
Overall, U.S. adults estimate that 62% of the news they read in newspapers, see on television or hear on the radio is biased. They think the news media mostly provide accurate information, but still estimate that 44% of what they see is inaccurate. And they believe that more than a third of the news they see in these channels is misinformation -- false or inaccurate information that is presented as if it were true.
