Congressman Anthony Weiner says hackers are responsible for the lewd photo sent via his Twitter account, but there are politics and technology stories behind the scandal.
One of the reasons why the scandal over lewd pictures and Anthony Weiner's Twitter account has gotten so much play is because it's a slow news cycle, according to Washington correspondent Todd Zwillich. There are, however, important stories that are getting missed in the media scrum. Also joining The Takeaway, John Abell, New York Bureau Chief for Wired.com, talks about how, technologically, this could have happened.
