I don't actually watch TV news ever. I was going based on the ABC News story that Cam posted which said:
--- Weiner called the news conference, but before he took the stage, the man who broke the story, conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, got there first and took the mic himself. Breitbart first said he was there to watch himself be vindicated, but then took to the podium and criticized Weiner for claiming that his Twitter and Facebook accounts had been hacked, and the media for its coverage of the story. "This is a legitimate story," he said from the same podium from where Weiner was set to speak. There "is a continual attempt to blame the messenger." --- Personally, I think the whole thing is pretty classless, but going to watch yourself be vindicated? Sounds pretty narcissistic to me. I don't buy the gaggle of reporters urging him to go to the microphone. The dude has a pretty big microphone of his own to get his message out whenever he wants and I don't think he has any problems getting reporters to listen to him. I'm fine with him talking to reporters but have a little class about the whole deal.
