Moses understood New York media organs would determine his public perception and, therefore, his power. He courted the press through flattery and cunning. After ribbon cuttings, he treated reporters to lavish banquets. He granted favored journalists free passes to his beaches and exemptions from tolls. If a project was especially controversial, he knew he needed to break the news first in a friendly outlet, using the corrosive power of access journalism to define his agenda in the public before opponents marshalled a response. Often, his pronouncements were treated with little analysis or scrutiny, regarded as bare fact beyond debate. Influential editorial boards always took his side.
New York has long had a history of colorful, meglomatic politicians. Just look at the name of bridges or the history books. Alexander Hamilton nor De Witt Clinton were not known for being quiet, timid individuals just doing the bidding of Tammany Hall.
