Oh, boy, looks like Mayor Eric Adams has let the job get to him or he’s
in over his head, even with that massive ego he’s been carrying since
primary election day last summer. That same ego is also getting bruised
by New York City’s legacy media press, which at one point the nearly two
month Hizzoner welcomed with open arms and treated with reverence that
was entirely absent for 8 years when Bill de Blasio was stifling them
and then suppressing them in the last 2 years of this pandemic. But 45
days later, which has seen a massive rise in all index crimes and his failed attempt
to persuade Albany’s obstinate and arrogant legislative leaders to
reform the bail reform laws that have exacerbated those crimes, Mayor
Adams has decided to scapegoat journalists for his disappointing return
to the city for the way they wrote about it and told them he wasn’t
going to answer their questions anymore unless it’s about the issue or
the theme of whatever he’s publicly speaking about in future "media availabilitys"
