the press just sucks, yes you msnbc, lawrence and all the others
I know AW resigned, but over and over I heard that "he will be remembered for this press conference". Well, yes, since the media played it over and over and over and over and over. I have watched (or rather listened to) Cenk, Chris and now Lawrence, and have heard the presser at least 3 times.

Maybe you could have said - he resigned and there was a heckler at the press conference.

When the howie stern asshole started screaming, the press should have turned the cameras off. That is when the news stopped and the circus started.

Shame on you, Lawrence, Cenk and Chris. I can't wait for Monday and Current TV.

Just venting, as I was one of the ones that did not want AW to resign. This whole thing is hurtful to me.

1. so now Lawrence sucks?? Huh?? What is wrong with some of you people?
Maybe its time to take a step back and re-evaluate your thinking when virtually every Democrat including many progressives agree that Weiner needed to resign.

4. The point i was trying to make was that the media
is creating their own news. This story would not have been half as big if it didn't turn into such a media perpetuated circus. You have to see that.

Now, I was extremely vested in AW not resigning. I was arguing with everybody and not backing down. He resigned. I am extremely hurt and disappointed by all this. Do you have to gloat? He is gone, you guys all got what you wanted. I feel like there is no one really to speak for me anymore, other than perhaps Bernie Sanders. Maybe that was the end game all along, I don't know. I don't think I need to "re-evualate my thinking" because as long as I continue to vote D, party leaders don't really seem to care about me either.

Now, let's see if the media will indeed turn to "more important stories", rather than the next manufactured faux controversy.

2. Odonnell is so sporatic.
Sometimes so spot on but tonight off of the rails. And yeah, I'll be watching Keith come Monday. Hopefully Rachel won't pander to the lowest common denominator tonight.

9. You listened to 3 different shows that cover current
events, and they all reported a current event? Who would'a thunk it....

11. that is the problem
AW is not and never was a "current event". It was a media perpetuated circus.

10. I'm guessing that Weiner's staff had gone off to freshen up their resumes...
...so nobody was available to tell his how phenomenally stupid it would be to hold a second Press Conference after the first one turned into such a circus.
