LA Times Reporter Tells Matt Lauer How They Broke Schwarzenegger Story

LA Times reporter Robin Abcarian appeared on the Today Show last week to discuss how the paper broke the news of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s extramarital affair and love child.

Towards the end of the interview, Matt Lauer asked if the LA Times felt vindicated by the story, since the paper took a lot of heat in 2003 for reporting on Schwarzenegger’s history of sexual harassment.

The consummate professional, Abcarian replied:

I think vindication is the wrong word… We felt at the time we published those allegations in 2003 that they were important, they were verified.
