Weiner Won't Be a 'Press Critic'

Anthony Weiner said in a recent interview that the public hasn't noticed Michael Bloomberg's failure to push the city's agenda in Albany because the mayor has "had a lapdog press corps."

The Congressman, of course, may have to deal with that press corps if he runs for mayor next year.

When I asked Weiner spokesman John Collins about the "lapdog" comment, he emailed:

"We won't be a press critic. The mayor's operation does a good job on all fronts and I think Anthony will stay out of the press evaluation business."

Stop playing the "is it one or two New Yorks" game. The press overall, but certainly the Observer and this blog, are indeed lap dogs, looking for puff pieces, lazy and reporting on nothing but regurgitation and speculation. You couldn't be worse than Dominic Carter even though you try very hard.
