On Tuesday night, Alec Baldwin paid a visit to Charlie Rose — namely to chat to about his new movie, To Rome with Love. But given the day’s events, the conversation unsurprisingly veered elsewhere as Rose inquired about Baldwin’s scuffle with a photographer. The actor said the story’s been misrepresented, saying the photographer almost hit him with the camera.

For those unfamiliar with the incident, yesterday the New York Daily News reported that Baldwin punched and shoved Daily News photographer Marcus Santos for taking his picture outside New York’s Marriage License Bureau. “He was looking mad,” Santos told the Daily News, adding, “I knew he was going to attack me. I stepped back, and he kept coming.” He then described the altercation, describing the punches.
“When you have an incident like you did, is it because you get upset somebody’s invading your privacy?” asked Rose.
“The guy almost hit me with a camera,” Baldwin replied, leading Rose to ask what happened. Thus was his side of the story: “There was a person in front of me, and I was blocking him and he lunged and he almost hit me in the teeth with the lens of the camera. And I pushed him away.”
He further criticized the media’s distortion. “You have your political opposition and they get on the internet, and within 30 minutes the misrepresentation of the story is out there,” said Baldwin. “You go on Twitter or Fox Nation says, ‘Baldwin punches photographer.’ Not true.”
Santos, on the other hand, has filed an assault charge.

According to Alec Baldwin, everything that shows him in a bad light is a Republican conspiracy. I only wish that the party was that bright.
30 ROCK’s numbers suck....he needs headlines
He could become the next NYC Mayor.
I saw a portion of 30 Rock for the first time ever this evening. Pure trash.
Alec, you little pig. You thoughtless little pig!
Didn’t he want to stone wives and children of Republican politicians? The murderous S.O.B. in F.A.G.
Why hasn’t this pathetic little dweeb been arrested for assualt?
It’s okay, he played a pilot once.
He could become the next NYC Mayor.

Sometimes when I huff glue, the walls speak to me...
You forgot the sarcasm alert. I didn’t know how to respond to it.
So the Sun is a GOP conspiracy? Does that mean God is a Republican?
I have to side with him against the TMZ people though, they are scum. Someone should camp outside their homes and take pictures of them.
You can't really ban what they do but it should be legal to attack them as long as it's not with a deadly weapon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwqFgnl4rMs

CF, alter all these years you still don’t know my humor?
Mu posts are pretty much either funny (to me anyways) or very serious (again, to me anyways).
A sort of mental yin and yang balancing thing...
