Beware of Reporters
SANTA FE, NM-July 20, 2005 — Beware of those sneaky reporters and their mind-bending tricks. That's the warning officials are giving employees of New Mexico's Children, Youth and Families Department.
Agency spokesman Matt Dillman says "unscrupulous reporters" will use a "Jedi Mind Trick" to get information.
A memo from Dillman to state workers says they should refer all media questions to him. A union official says public employees are being intimidated.
But Dillman says his memo has been misconstrued. He says agency workers can talk to the media on their own time.
