Greitens' approach of using social media sites to appeal directly to voters isn't that unusual, but he hasn't given reporters many chances to ask him questions.

The Post-Dispatch says it has made numerous requests for interviews since Greitens' Nov. 8 election win, but they have been rebuffed.

Greitens' spokesman Parker Briden told the newspaper it will have to wait for an interview.

"Rest assured, I will let you know when we have budgeted time for you to meet with the Governor," Briden said. "It is not a priority at this moment."

3. It's Missouri. Looks like he's trying to follow the Trump playbook.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens has started complaining about the coverage his administration receives, but the Republican has granted few interviews during his first six weeks in office.

4. It's also helpful to add (R-Missouri).

So many news articles do not mention the person's political party in the article title or even in the article itself.

6. That used to be standard for every political story. Still should be.

Particularly when malfeasance or scandal is involved.

2. Like Eddie Munster, he probably thinks they're "a f*cking waste of time."

These fascists always do.

5. 45-ish, I think

Isn't this what Greitens' big brother, our golden-haired 70-year-old first groper does? A page from his playbook? When the media contact you, maybe to confirm something for dissemination, don't respond, then when they put it out, jump them for lying about it? I think it is. I'd like to see a lot more news coverage about Greitens and a Missouri shingle company who supplied him with $$$ so he could bust the unions in this state.
