Bill de Blasio is Not a Fan of The Press

Our city’s relatively new Mayor is already a veteran at one specific move: Cutting himself off from the press. According to The Associated Press, Bill de Blasio has already barred the media from 53 events, and only allowed limited access to 30 other events. In total, over 20 percent of his listed events have been closed to the media.

For his part, de Blasio has blamed restricted access on where the events have been held; claiming that classrooms and factories don’t lend themselves to numerous journalists.
