Bloomberg: "Not Running Against Anybody," Hasn't Seen His TV Ads
At an event where Mayor Michael Bloomberg, alongside the city's Veteran’s Affairs employees and NYC Service participants, helped put together care packages for overseas troops, the mayor was asked about the Wednesday night debate between Democratic mayoral hopefuls City Comptroller Bill Thompson and City Councilman Tony Avella (the two Democrats spent much of the debate attacking the mayor). Bloomberg said he didn't watch the debate but apparently heard about it, suggesting the candidates "wasted an opportunity" in attacking him instead of giving reasons why they would be good for the city, "I'm not going to 'face' either of them... I'm running on a record, and I'm trying to lay out the things that I would do if given another opportunity."
Regarding the fact that basically three-quarters of New York voters have seen his TV ads (and many find them annoying), PolitickerNY caught this exchange:
The ads are “somewhat unavoidable,” said a reporter from the Associated Press.Spoken like a true media mogul!“I’ve managed to avoid them,” said Bloomberg.
“You don’t ever see your ads?” the reporter asked.
"I don’t have time to watch television,” he said. “I have a job that sort of requires me to work from sort of early in the morning till the middle of the evening. Then, catching up on all the work that I have to take home, I don’t have a lot of time to watch television. But if I did, and I didn’t like the ads, I guess I could turn it off or not watch."
