I realise that this man set this whole thing up to get attention but the way the media is reacting is exactly what he wanted. They are actually giving him what he set out to get. I find that they are treating this incident like it is comparable to a guy who mass murdered a bunch of people and is driving down the freeway like OJ did. Rediculous and NOT NEWS!! Get off of this already and move on to important REAL news.

This is also how the media reacts to the Gore's and Suzuki's of the the world. No investigation, just headlines. One liners for the pretty talking heads.

Actually the media coverage is what lead to his forthcoming arrest. I doubt this is what he wanted.

I agree that the media is giving this guy what he set out to get. Yes he is being charged and yes he probably did not want that but that does not change the fact that he is still getting what he wanted to begin with. This guy probably thinks it is worth it from what has been told about him. The media is feeding what he needs most and I do not think it is worthwhile news. They should charge him and keep it out of the media. That would punish this guy the most.
