The Press is, Like, a Total Downer

The owner of a company called MZM testified in federal court that he gave $32,000 in illegal campaign donations to Florida Representative Katherine Harris. What's her response?

"There is nothing to it except for the press trying to be negative."

Um. What? The press? Because they reported on the testimony? A man testifies in federal court that he gave you illegal campaign contributions and this is somehow the press's fault? By reporting the facts, they are "trying to be negative"? What is this, high school?
