12. Obviously not
considering the incredibly high number of times we're treated to moment-by-moment reports on the corporate media's coverage of this 'important' story. Get back to me when there's evidence that inhabitants of online message boards have finally turned their back on corporate media clowns. Until then, this place remains a three-ring booster of the media circus.

13. Ok, I concede. I will speak for myself
my family and friends that I Know for fact are not watching the circus of talking heads....Something that used to be a daily thing is now reduced to a couple times a week.

It's not factual news we can use.

3. What are they waiting for? Do they think Rep. Weiner will flash them?
Do they think someone he is "following" on twitter will show up at his office? I know, Breitbart and crew will show up dressed as young girls and try to get him to send them tweets. They will send the heavily edited tapes out to the MEdia this afternoon.

They can't afford to send anyone out to get the newz, they have to wait for Breitbart to fix it and mail it in. I bet Little Luke is right there in the lights goin' for the glory like dear ole dad.

7. If he had balls
he'd take the platform they are giving him and spend the entire time lecturing them about reporting on nonsense rather than important things and ignoring their stupid questions.

8. I don't usually watch tv news
but in this case, since ppl were talking about specific q&a moments, etc. - I did.

Weiner has already basically said that he's not going to spend time on this non-issue and, while fielding questions about this non-issue, spoke about the problems with Thomas' conflict of interest and about the need to address the huge disparity in wealth b/t the middle class and the rich.

no response from the media - no concern about real issues - just a continuous request for a response about something which he told them could be and was answered in statements from his office and from appearances on tv.

the great thing about this for the tsk-tskers is that he has never claimed to be a "good christian" touting social conservatism so - what's the issue? he's a jewish guy who may or may not have a private picture somewhere - horrors!!!!

grow the fuck up, American media.

Fits the Washington narrative, so it's right smack in their comfy-zone.

No surprise they're all over it like... well, like Washington media on crappy trivia while the government burns.
