Bloomberg Upbraids Reporters, Stomps Out of Press Conference

I am amused at this AP story about NY Mayor Bloomberg telling the media they’re too focused on criticizing instead of reporting on positive developments. After no reporters were interested in follow up questions on a new child mentorship program the mayor presented at his daily press conference, he told them this, according to the AP piece:

?Given the amount of space that you spend talking about when children go wrong, I?m sure there must be lots of questions about how we fix the problem rather than just sensationalize and criticize,? he said.

After pausing a moment, he said, ?Nothing? OK. Thank you very much,? and walked briskly out of the room before reporters could ask him about other issues.
