Thing is, he couldn’t do that in this case. So, instead of taking on the content of the line of questioning, he took on the questioner.

This was a huge mistake on the part of the mayor. The NYPOST can really suck, however the questions the reporter was asking the mayor were completely legitimate, non-sucky questions. Questions about policy, members of his cabinet, and the death of a 6 year old. These questions are fair ones and to refuse to answer…

NYPost is considered a troll only if they attack someone you like. When they were nailing Bernie Sanders on policy, nobody was calling them trolls.
