To the untrained eye, it might seem a mystery why a Bill de Blasio would face such mockery for his presidential ambitions. Solving it lies in understanding his relationship with the New York media.
NEW YORK — New York City may not have a reputation as the friendliest town, but news that Mayor Bill de Blasio is running for president was met with particular derision.
“I think there’s a lot of hypocrisy behind his actions and I think in a place like New York people see right through it,” said Assemblyman Ron Kim, a Queens Democrat who endorsed Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign in March. poster="http://v.politico.com/images/1155968404/201905/2100/1155968404_6037752721001_6037757798001-vs.jpg?pubId=1155968404"“Early on there was an imperiousness,” said Neal Kwatra, a Democratic operative who has worked with de Blasio since his Council days. “It continued that way. He sort of sees reporters as almost colleagues and fellow operatives in the game of politics and there’s a little bit of ‘I know better than you.
He is not a fan of the local press and is fond of dismissing critical coverage as misleading or inaccurate — not unlike the president he hopes to unseat.
