More on Moore
Following up on yesterday’s post re: Richard Moore:
- Laura updates her dealings with the Treasurer’s office.
- Charlotte’s David Ingram includes the “pen-and-pad” scuffle in his follow-up story today.
So, just to set the stage: A bunch of media types are going to show up at Moore’s 11 a.m. news conference today. From those I’ve talked to, they plan to largely ignore the instruction to leave cameras, recorders and what not behind. So we wind up with one of two things happening:
- The treasurer’s office gives up on all this, everyone gets invited in and we all have a lovely time hearing about the state’s investments.
- The treasurer’s office sticks to its guns, throws people out, and the story becomes one about how he won’t deal with the media.
Of course, maybe this is all some Machiavellian plan to get lots of media really interested in this shindig and show up on a Friday.
