This was strange, even for a mayor who once declared — seven years into his administration — that New York needed saving while standing beneath a model blue whale.
For one thing, Bill de Blasio’s eighth and final State of the City speech wasn’t even a speech.
Not one bit of the presentation was live.
And never once during the entire 28-minute, pre-taped online affair did Hizzoner ever turn to the camera to directly address the audience.
Instead, New Yorkers (if any beyond reporters getting paid to do so tuned in) were treated to often generic footage from around the city — sometimes scenes of pre-pandemic life jarringly mixed with those clearly shot after the coronavirus struck — as de Blasio played narrator

Are we really shocked?
“This is politics of the future”
Rule from the basement [bunker].
I really am shocked. I thought at the very least he would pull a Biden and give a live speech in front of a bunch of clapping seals.
Yes, but what kind of shake did he get: chocolate or vanilla?
DeBlobbio musta found that cunning idea in his and his wife's bedtime reading matter.....the Marxist Handbook.
DeBlasio does not give a ****. Either he hates this country or he’s bought out by CCP.
Drunk or high or both!
There is no need for real politicians any more.
Just have doubles or even robots—since vote “counting” is a fraud and a farce it does not really matter.
The only people listening to the corrupt pols are so brain dead that they might as well be talking to rocks anyway.
This will backfire on the Democrats. Putting Conservatives on a crash diet of fake news will only make conservatives stronger.
NYC will love it — and vote for it.
They seem to have an affinity for dysfunctional and corrupt government.

There were those who foresaw this in 2008 when they referred to the "Teleprompter-in-Chief" and asked who was actually speaking when Barack Obama couldn't even talk to KINDERGARTENERS without a teleprompter.
We're in a Post-Electoral Nation now. When votes don't matter, neither do politicians.
Ruled by "Big Brother"
Surveilled by Big Tech!
Threatened by room 101
‘’’’This is politics of the future. Instead of live press conferences and speeches left wing tyrants will record infomercials from sound stages.’’’’
Like the scene in “ROLLERBALL” when the various elites are voting on the rules change.
Well...I can't think of anything better that pretty much does sum up the State of the City under De Blasio...
He would absolutely get the vote of every deceased NYC Corona virus victim.
Ta Daaa! I give you that hoopy frood, Zaphos Beeblebrox, President of the Galaxy!
He is a grifter looking for the next scam to fill his pockets plain and simple. They type that steals the SSI checks from his grandmother while she eats cat food
