And from Eddie Barrita, Cheking Seares’ confidante, coffee mate and beer buddy extraordinaire and plenipotentiary, comes this take on the Governor’s new media policy.
Well, what did you expect? Where Cheking goes. . .
Note, however, the latent hubris that afflicts some opinion makers in the thinly veiled threat that the Governor’s “absence” will make the heart grow fonder “for someone else”.
Eddie, outside of Bo’s Coffee Club, and Westpoint Cafe, there’s a bigger world. And there’s a lot of “fondness” out there to make up for the tragedy you warn will result from media’s lost affections.
And while we’re at this, Eddie, “media” is bigger than a few columnists congregating in the same coffee shops. Look around you, and step out of your comfort zone of cronies. There’s a lot of resentment brewing in the real working media against “mediamen” who do not sweat it out in the field, but have something to say about everything under the sun.
Hope to see you at Westpoint soon. Buy me a beer.
