NBC's Lauer Claims Breitbart Breaking Weiner Story Violated Conservative Principles

NewsBusters ^ | 6-7-2011 | Kyle Drennen

[Rational Thought]

Weiner is a pervert, and Lauer is now defending the actions of this pervert. What does this say about Lauer?

[vbmoneyspender]

Is Breitbart the gov't? Where exactly did Breitbart call for gov't to get involved? Lauer's more than a bit confused, as usual.

You gotta understand how libs think. They think everything belongs to the gov't. Your money, your property, you.

[Recovering_Democrat]

France Matt has no earthly idea about conservatism, so he is wholly unqualified to speak on the subject.

[Portcall24]

Come on Lauer, use your brain besides something to cut down the echo in your head. Since when does the bedroom extend to the congresman’s office?

[smoothsailing]

Lauer"s a sniveling twerp.

Isn't that a type of bird? LOL!

[Alberta's Child]

What Lauer is actually saying is that Breitbart is somehow at fault for giving public exposure to something that puts Lauer in a position where he either has to cover it objectively as a news story or defend a depraved misogynist like Anthony Weiner Tony Dick for purely partisan reasons.

I have to get in on this:

BYMB!

[Turbo Pig]

Seems to me, as the facts came out, that Wiener put his bedroom into our government, not the other way around, as Lauer claims.

[Fu-fu2]

“All remaining claims to legitimacy for the old media depend upon the crumbling pretense that what they present to the American public is factual and unbiased, rather than contrived and contorted.”

Great post!

[Carry_Okie]

He'd have a hard time winning such a case because he'd have to demonstrate that he actually suffered some kind of harm or monetary loss as a result of the defamation.

Do threats to himself and his family resulting from Weiner's instigation count? I would think they do.

Weiner is was clearly abusing the power of his position at Breitbart's peril and should know that leftist activists would act upon his behalf. Brietbart is being no monstrous media corporation capable of mounting an extensive defense and Weiner knows that too.

I've seen less cause than that wind up in court before.

Isn't that a type of bird?

It most certainly is and you've identified them correctly. LOL!

[Noumenon]

Where the hell are these lib media types getting their logic?

The liberal mind is a logic-free environment. It resembles a bento box like structure where mutually contradicting ideas can be safely kept from colliding with one another.

In the end, there is only the narrative. And that's whatever they say it is.

Madness.

[GeronL]

Andrew didn’t go anywhere near his bedroom. I think I can bank on that. lol

[Alberta's Child]

Oh, I know for a fact that Breitbart has cause and standing to file a lawsuit. I'm just pointing out that the end result of the legal action would likely be a jury decision in Breitbart's favor -- and Breitbart getting a $1 settlement to pay for the "damages" that he can actually document.

The irony of this whole thing is that the whole "power structure" related to Weiner's official position has been turned upside down. At this point in time, we now have a humiliated U.S. Congressman (Weiner) who will never be able to screw with Breitbart again because of the leverage that Breitbart has with the additional photo(s) he has in his possession.

If the rumor I've seen floating around out there today about this mysterious photo is even remotely true, then the only question left to answer is whether Weiner leaves office by resigning or by doing harm to himself.

[dforest]

Yeah, but the internet is not his bedroom. He caused many woman to be nauseated. That is abuse, and we don’t like it.

[Wuli]

And, in the first place, what in the $%#@! would Lauer UNDERSTAND, much less KNOW, ANYTHING about anyone’s Conservative principles.

And worse, as an admission that HE and his media friends are part of government - as in the state media operations they are running for Obama, he equates Breitbart’s release of the Weiner information with the “government” releasing it.

That’s no Freudian slip. That’s Laeur’s idea of who he is coming through in how he thinks of the role of others, like him, in the media.

[smoothsailing]

[Hildy]

Put this picture out there and be done with it. I think it is worse, and not particularly professional, to tease it.

[Buckeye McFrog]

That’s okay, Matt. Some blogger out there will be posting your Twitter photos soon...

[so_real]

I love how left-wing loony liberals think they have a clue what conservative principles are. Analysis requires research -- something the left-wing loony liberal media has shown itself COMPLETELY incapable of. Thank you, Obama, for exposing the hypocrisy of the media. Thank you Breitbart for filling the void.
