If A Blogger Did This, The Media Would Be All Over Them- UPDATED

Tell me how this reporter still has his job? Michael Ware's job is to report the news, not become the news?

He was last seen heckling John McCain at a presser. Who does Ware think he is?

All I know is that if a blogger was in a situation where he was able to interview a major politician and then launched in to a tirade and heckled said politician, the media elites around the big media outlet would be yelling from the tallest trees that the bloggers were irresponsible, incapable of being objective, and otherwise biased.

Instead, we get Ware and his ranting and raving for the world to see.

How will the media play this one? Will they make excuses for him? What will CNN do?

UPDATE 4/2/2007:
Did Drudge get it wrong? Video that's been released seems to support Ware's contention that nothing untoward occurred. Very curious. It would be nice to see Drudge's explanation, or whether there was more video that was shot after the presser. If that's the case, then Drudge's headline was inaccurate at best.
