We have something called the First Amendment here in the US. And I see those guys in blue uniforms working their asses off every day in front of my building. Why wouldn't the mayor support their work?

Reporters don't want to piss Bloomberg off - after all, there are only so many media outlets to work at these days, and most are either owned by Bloomberg (Bloomberg News, Bloomberg Radio, Bloomberg TV, etc.) or one of his cronies (Zuckerman at the Daily News and US News, Murdoch at FOX News, FOX Business, Fox 5, UPN, The NY Post, The WSJ.)<br /><br />Chaz, rules do not apply to billionaires or their surrogates.
