A dispatch from the media feeding frenzy

POLITICO's Ben Smith on Weiner's exit: "There was more press here than I've seen in 10 years of covering New York political events: There were about 40 cameras, and maybe 100 members of the press, representing everyone from the New York Times, which livestreamed the affair, to the local Midwood Blog, to the liberal site Talking Points Memo, the radio character who disrupted the event, and foreign news crews." Ugh.
