Andrew Cuomo’s sad State of the State speech.
Here are two articles regarding the Governor’s State of the State delivered yesterday from an upstate paper: Cuomo vows to vaccinate 70% to 90% of New Yorkers and Vaccinations, boosting economy top Cuomo 2021 agenda. The focus of these two articles is COVID-19 and not the problems New Yorkers will face with the substantial budget shortfall taxpayers are facing. COVID-19 is a major concern for all New Yorkers (as well as the world’s population) but, the way government responds to the economic fallout must be questioned by those reporting on the problems. How do we expect people to understand the depth of the economic shortfall, and how it will be resolved, if the newspapers gloss over the seriousness of the budget concerns? The media has a responsibility to inform the public; our Founding Fathers realized that by elevating their importance in the First Amendment. It is time they accept that responsibility no matter how unpleasant it may be to report; government does not need cheerleaders as much as her citizens need to be fully informed.
