Reply #138: You're clutching at straws. Who called the press conferences is an irrelevant straw man.

The press was all over the story and would have been all over it, even if Weiner had crawled into a cave for a month, which he could not very well do any.

Once he confessed and apologized, he had nothing more to say, nor was there anything new for the media to report, EXCEPT THAT Democrats went on TV day after day, making sure the media had new red meat.

And you have no idea what may have been going on behind the scenes. Neither do I, but I very much doubt that the ONLY communications by Democrats to Weiner about his were taking place on national TV and none behind closed doors.
