Agreed. And he didn't even apologize until after his rant.

I have to laugh when people rip apart the media. He's a news reporter not some sleazy gossip columnist or a "reporter" for one of those gossip shows. Don't want questions asked about your alleged ill-doings? Easy--don't screw up.

This would be true IF reporters had credibility anymore, which they don't. They only want to push their own agenda.

The whole thing is just sort of amusing to me. We, here in flyover country, think "I'm going to throw you over the balcony," is how New Yorkers say, "Good Morning".

What agenda??? He's doing his job for crying out loud. It's not like he showed up at Grimm's family function and asked him. He asked a legitimate question and he asked it professionally. He took the opportunity to ask. Grimm could have said, "Thanks, but no comment." What's so difficult about that? Reporters DO have credibility. It's the sleazy gossip types that ruin it or the papparazzi.

If you think that's how New Yorkers say, "Good morning" then that's a horrible perspective you have. He's a goon. If you're that anti-reporter, Google Grimm and read all the articles about him.

Not hard to research.
Anthony Scotto has been identified as a made man, or full member, of the Gambino family ... (&) ... is the father of broadcast journalist Rosanna Scotto ... the family owns and operates the restaurant Fresco by Scotto on East 52nd Street in Manhattan.

I don't get these comments. We're not talking about a tabloid gossip/paparazzo harassing a private citizen (which I agree is despicable). This is an elected official, his PUBLIC life--which is what's at issue here--is completely fair game and reporters should ask about it.

And her mother's family were also mobsters.

(But that's all irrelevant)

I can't believe these people.
A reporter finally asks the tough questions, (and not the usual soft-ball) and they get upset at the reporter.

Then some of these same people will come here whining about the sad state of affairs in our political system.

Cat lost his cool and threatened a reporter with violence for asking a tough question. If you can't take the heat...

Indeed, this was good reporting. He actually showed Grimm to be an mentally unstable loon who should not even be in politics.

But I do think I understand the irrational stance of some people here. The true issue is the TRUTH about GRIMM came out, and the TRUTH is often frightening for people used to HIDING and LYING. But it always comes out, and today in an era of smartphones and the internet it comes out in a dramatic way.

The best way not to get in trouble is not to do bad things. Grimm should blame himself for being even asked that question, since he was the one who did things to get him in trouble.
