hahah Thinks it's the job of the press to be nice to him?

Clearly partisan reporting has gone to far when an adult man and politician thinks that's the function of a free press.

Okay well a sort of free press haha

Gov. Mike Easley said newspapers should be nice to him.

In an interview with the Greensboro News & Record, Easley complained about how newspapers, particularly The News & Observer and The Charlotte Observer, have treated him. Both papers are owned by Sacramento, Calif.-based McClatchy Co.

"My job is to be nice to other people, and their job is to be nice to me. Just because they're not doing theirs doesn't mean I shouldn't do mine," Easley said in audio of the interview posted on The News & Record's Web site on Christmas Day.
