Clearly the Governor is having a hard time with the right leaning press in New Mexico at present. Rather than set up a time and place to interview him and allow him to try and answer questions about the current events they are chasing him around New Mexico trying their level best to put a damper on good news for our state’s economy and the environment.Now we all understand that news is news and that reporters have the responsible to ask the hard questions but our state also deserves a little respect when it comes to public events that are breaking news for our economy. Why did the media here in New Mexico not just ask him to meet with them at a time and place that would be respectful to both the media and the governor? Maybe they want to make this whole affair appear more sorted then it is and they are enjoying putting the screws to him. I personally think that it is wrong of reporters to kick him at a time when he has clearly been hurt in such a personal way by an investigation into his administration that cost him a position in the Obama administration.
Maybe news reporters should start acting like they learned something from the four years they attended Journalism College? If they can prove that they have contacted the governor’s office to request an interview and that he has refused to speak to them then they can interrupt an event at the end and demand that he answer questions. Clearly he cannot be forced to say anything that would result in harm to either himself or people who worked for him while serving his administration. Governor Richardson has stated forcefully that he feels that both himself and his administration will be cleared of any taint once this investigation is over and done.
