DeBlasio will answer questions when he is good and ready


From CBS:

Mayor Bill de Blasio campaigned on a pledge to be the most transparent mayor ever.

But CBS2 Political Reporter Marcia Kramer reported the mayor was aggressively trying to control the message Wednesday – taking reporters’ questions only about once a week on topics he has not pre-approved.

Kramer went toe-to-toe with the mayor’s press secretary about it on Wednesday.

Kramer reported that the late Mayor Ed Koch answered reporters’ questions as many as six times a day, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg did it three or four times a week.

She said she did not recall a mayor who said he was only taking “on-topic” questions one day, and went on to say, “Tomorrow, we’ll talking about other types of topics.”

But press secretary Karen Hinton vehemently defended the practice.

Seventy-one percent of all federal advisory committee meetings were held behind closed doors in fiscal 2013 and 2014, the highest percentage of closed-door meetings in the past decade, according to a new report from the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service. The findings are the latest to undermine President Obama's repeated promise to be the "most transparent administration in history."

Bill Clinton said it depends on what the definition of is is

Hillary, thought by some to be the most intelligent person on the planet, said I do not recall some 50 times in a court deposition.

Regarding the dead navy seals,she said "what difference does it make "

Comrade Deblasio has learned from the best.

The puppet press and the oblivious sheeple, let this go...

I would hardly describe Marsha Kramer as the "Puppet Press" she's dogged DeBlasio since his first days in office...

"NO!, these are legitimate questions!"

Don't fuck with Marcia Kramer. I am surprised that Mayor Big slow's press terrier didn't use that hackneyed interjection "seriously" when Ms. Kramer kept that mic under her sniveling nose. And did I detect a southern or nawlings accent there on Nancy?


It's abundantly clear now that our vaunted self-appointed liberal pioneer has no interest in governing and is using his mayoralty as a resume booster and see himself as some Cesar Chavez/MLK type of activist. Or more likely to be in a position in the mass media and pop cultured anointed President Hillary's cabinet.

Unless we the people can crush it.

Now let's get Marcia in an octagon cage with that corporate playground city planning douchehag Alicia Glen.

Hinton: Marcia, could you just . . .
Kramer: No...no. This is a legitimate question. They have legitimate questions too.

A reporter with balls. Go Marcia, go.

Marcia Kramer for Mayor.

Any mayor should be able to answer questions about any topic at a press conference. It's part of the job.
Pre-reviewed or topic limited questions remind me of what they do in dictatorships and fake democracies.

Socialists Leaders never did like to be questioned. I don't remember reading about Lenin, Stalin, or Castro having open Q&A sessions.

This mentally ill sick person is totally unfit for duty and in need of justified recall as the Constitutional law provides. This government official is not only mentally ill but could very well be a bad closet drug addict. When is the dam Governor going to sign Avella's bill, New York is practically the only state in the country that exercise citizens rights for re-call.
I here he is off to Puerto Rico to help rally healthcare and drug problem WTF WTF ??
