> [@Whack-a-Mole](#): > > I know Breitbart likes to say the liberal media will give Weiner a pass on this although A) the media is not liberal and B) I am not seeing them ignoring it. And C) nothing Breitbart “reports” should be taken at face value. OK, that doesn’t really fit into your list, but it bears repeating that Breitbart’s reputation preceeds him and nothing he says should be presumed to be true. I’d be a fool to swear up and down that Weiner is innocent, so I won’t do that. But there are some issues that need to be resolved here, and the fact that Breitbart is involved indicates the situation is dubious. > [@Gangster\_Octopus](#): > > the idiots at CNN cannot even do a single slight bit of creative reporting to try and figure it out. I don’t like the phrase “creative reporting,” but Jon Stewart was correct last night - the bloggers are out in front of the news in doing the reporting here. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/congressman-anthony-weiner-my-twitter-account-was-hacked-the-weiner-photo-is-not-mine/583853)._
