Permanent Government

The Permanent Government Now Runs the Press, No Jack Newfield to Fight Them

When Weiner asked a serious question about the council slush fund cover-up of Quinn his question was cut off by a reporter saying that she said enough.  It looks like these reporters are picked to question candidates in debates because they will not ask questions challenging the control of the city's permanent government.  Not one question was ask if the candidates who all took money from Excell One57- door for the rich and one for the poor - would return the money to the developer. Or if they would return the money to the Rudin people who are build luxury co-op on the site of the closed St. Vincent's. Besides different ideas how to deal with stop and frisk not one candidate or debate journalist asked or talked about how to keep New Yorkers safe.
