Gov. Tuberville should lower his media hostility

Alabama governor-elect Tommy Tuberville treats political reporters a lot worse than he treated sports reporters when he was Auburn University’s head football coach. He regaled the sports guys in his office, shared his cellphone number with a few of them, and presumably felt some appreciation that they helped to save his job by uncovering the infamous Jetgate.I guess the battlefield of politics, and age, can change a person.Multiple state political journalists posted on social media last week about their treatment at Tuberville’s election victory party at The Hotel at Auburn University. They were kept in a conference room for four hours and not allowed to enter the party to do interviews with Tuberville supporters. They got two minutes of video from a connecting hallway. They were allowed into the party only to hear the candidate’s victory speech.The pre-event media advisory indicated that this was the plan. That doesn’t negate that it was a silly and manipulative idea. A valid story…
