Mayor Bill de Blasio admitted Wednesday that he erred while interacting with the New York media the past eight years, conceding he often acted in an “off-putting” manner while pleading his case to reporters.
“I’ll be confessional and say, I think when there’s something wrong, you can’t say, ‘Oh, it’s somebody else,’ right,” the often combative mayor said.
“I mean, there’s something wrong and it has been something wrong in my relationship with the media. That’s obviously, to some extent, on me,” he said during a virtual press conference, when asked if he holds any regrets about his relationship with journalists during his time in office.
“As always, it takes two to tango, but that’s got to be to some extent on me.”
The lame-duck mayor, who often bristles at reporters’ questions and disputes their premise, copped to not always publicly admitting to his various “missteps” during his tenure.
