Cuomo Plays Hardball Against Reporter

From the AP:

The Cuomo administration has released a confidential e-mail from a reporter seeking information for a story.

The reporter, Fred Dicker of the New York Post, called it “highly unprofessional” and shocking.

The Cuomo administration gave Dicker’s e-mail to 10 competitors on Monday. It also released a spokesman’s response about a high-level executive leaving the administration, the subject of Dicker’s query.

Highly unprofessional? But I thought this kind of thing had become de rigueur.
