You know how people say they're tired of bad news — that we should have more outlets dedicated solely to good news?
Turns out New York already has one. It's Mayor de Blasio's YouTube channel. It carries videos produced by NYC TV, a taxpayer-funded public-television channel.
In two exclusives, The Post has reported how Mayor Bill has injected himself into the station's content, ordering up, for example, a feature on an old friend famous for her "spider bite" dance.
The mayor's YouTube channel takes a different angle, focusing on how wonderful New York life is under Mayor Bill.
Now, all politicians promote themselves shamelessly. And they are only too happy to use public dollars when they can — just look at all those ads for Gov. Cuomo's START-UP NY program.
Even so, de Blasio's YouTube channel features more than 250 videos — which works out to nearly one new one each day. Friday, for example, the "City Scoop" video noted how Super Bill was single-handedly propping up . . . er, reforming . . . 94 failing public schools.
Another features a story about how a family hit by Sandy will be back in their home by Christmas — thanks to Mayor Bill. And so on.
Maybe there's a case for what are essentially campaign commercials. But so long as taxpayers are picking up the tab, maybe these videos should carry the proper public warning: "Any resemblance to real persons or real events is purely coincidental."
