Weinergate 10 Years Later: Media’s Firm Defense Fell Flat
29th May 2021
It was ten years ago this May that Weinergate grew into a scandal that destroyed the career of New York Democrat Anthony Weiner. On May 27, 2011, the then-Congressman sent a sexually explicit picture of himself to a woman following him on Twitter. After the picture of his erect penis became public, Weiner spent days saying it wasn’t him and suggesting he’d been hacked. Bizarrely, liberal journalists attempted to defend him, offering all sorts of ridiculous explanations.
Concocting the Narrative is SO tiring. “But Oceania has ALWAYS been at war with EastAsia!”
