Watch the reaction of Louisiana’s governor when asked if taxpayers should have the right to know how the state government goes about making its decision. He likened it to going to a restaurant and eating what they prepare but not asking who prepared the food or what went in to it.
The question came about because the governor supports a bill to dramatically change public records laws. Those changes would prevent the public from having access to cell phone records, emails, calendars and other records that reveal how key decisions are made.
@JustinCToscano It is unfortunate some expect coverage to be positive every time. Others get angry when it’s negative. We are supposed to report what is happening unfiltered, not be PR. Things aren’t always rosy. Don’t bury your head in the sand or blame the messenger when it’s pointed out.
@JustinCToscano Been in media for 12 years. From sports to news, most people don’t want to talk about failures. A government leader loves the camera for new police station, but runs when there’s crime. Economic leaders love a ribbon cutting, but will rarely talk about having to close doors.
@mlbbowman Isn’t there a set time media is allowed clubhouse access? Say that when you know it’s private. We won G2 because hitters had good at bats late in the game & a great defensive play. Celebrate by praising your teammates who won the game instead of implying Harper caused the loss.
You know what @LieutenantDans7 would have said after a big @braves win in Game 2? Me neither. But I know he wouldn’t have been quoted by reporters saying things that would be bulletin board material for the opponent.
