Bad Weiner Coverage on CNN, Fox News?

150+ Fox News Bias videos at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D

The underwear photo that showed up on the twitter page of NY Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner last Friday spawned a lot of bad news coverage of "Weinergate" including CNN's broadcast of Andrew Breitbart's rampant speculation that Jon Stewart criticized on The Daily Show this week and Fox News' one-sided teaser and overprotection of TiVo's corporate reputation that I show in this video.

The clips I show of Jon Stewart (and the clip of Andrew Breitbart) come from a longer segment on the May 31, 2011 broadcast of "the Daily Show" available online at http://bit.ly/DailyWeiner

The clip I show of Martha MacCallum comes from a teaser segment on Fox News' May 30, 2011, broadcast of "America Live which I have not found online but which teases the subsequent story available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az0IJZLmgP0

The clips I show of Carl Cameron's story on Weinergate come from a longer segment on Fox News' May 30, 2011, broadcast of "Special Report" which is available online at http://bit.ly/SpecialWeiner

The screenshots I show of Rep. Anthony Weiner's tweets come from his tweeter feed at http://twitter.com/RepWeiner

"Bad" weiner coverage? I thought his boxer briefs concealed his junk pretty well.

Now that we have the benefit of hindsight and all the facts are in place:

* Weiner was lying - so HUGE and Pitbull attacking those who wouldn't be put down

* Jon Stewarts was being major sleazy and knew he was totally wrong through this

* This whole piece's point was on the surface to *prove* bias especially on Fox's part but we can see clearly now that they weren't put off because there was something REAL they were pursuing. Journalistic free speech. Don't sell it out - USA is built on it.

@mattcruise There may be something to that, but "they're doing it, too!" is hardly a good excuse.

hehehe, weiner.

Fox? Misplay priorities? NEVER.

[mattcruise]

Wiener innocent until proven guilty.... Herman Cain Guilty because the left want to believe it.

@sushilaceymax he sent pictures of his dick to consenting adults

this is the stupidest argument i've ever heard - unlike tivo, the woman had already broadcasted her name and story in the new york post! and they probably couldn't display the tivo for other reasons - they have to put tape over the logos of drinks on reality tv shows

[metalicboy]

wait hang on wtf you talking about "right wing character assassin"? Are you high? breitbarts site gets a lot of good news that John Stewart the "left wing character assassin" misses (beating of kenneth Gladney for example) and now we find that he was right wasn't he? that was weiners pecker sent to a younger woman. Maybe you're the one thats biased bro

Big fucking deal. Virtually every congressmen who are endorsed by the Republican party has a secret to reveal to some female who seem to be no younger than 18, and no older than 24 so the relationship with each other would be a stupid sexual advantage. It's literally those idiots of a news station go to a night club to get drunk on booze and act likeeverything revolving around them is insignificant except for having a night out with an underpaid slut.
