I say decrease. He's just a dumbass douche bag, and since when is that news worthy? He ain't breaking the law or anything, he's free to do what he wants. But what he wants is stupid and the rest of us don't have to pay him any mind.
I think the attention could taboo others from trying the same thing, but that effectively may not happen.
Decreasing the attention may make the problem go away. And yes I consider book burning a problem. Especially some freakass denomination burning the religious book of another.
Well it's not a big problem if that. It's not like this is standard, everday crap. But it's still a legal activity which means that if we want to limit its impact (because this is more than just "we're burning this book because our god doesn't like it" stuff, this is a purposeful attempt at an extreme action in order to elicit a response from the rest of us) then we need to ignore it. Mind our own business and get on with our day.
I agree that it should decrease. I think the media is fanning the flames that could've just been a little spark if they hadn't run away with the story. I don't know about other channels, but the story is on MSNBC every single night at least 3 times.
If some asswipe was burning bibles or flags it would be newworthy for a couple minutes than gone. That's the way this should have been treated.
Oh crap, I just heard the FBI has become involved with trying to talk him out of it! What the, ---is this country coming to?
Where's the FBI investigating El Gamal, Imam Rauf, Daisy Kahn, CAIR,
They are both, the Mosque, the Koran burning, inflamatory.
The media coverage is dictated by what draws viewers/readers. It's a controversial subject which draws those viewers. Since I support capitalism and a relatively free market, and a free press, I think the media coverage is exactly appropriate, which is that the media coverage is what the market dictates.

Yes... that's why EVERY YEAR when somebody says 'Happy Holidays' instead of 'Merry Christmas' it's not reported for 3 days.
Should the media's attention to this topic increase, decrease or stay the same? Please explain your answer.
He's a ****tard burning a book. It's completely a non-issue and absolutely not newsworthy. If I go burn some of my books, is it going to make international headlines? **** no. Why? Because it's a non-issue. It's a ****ing book.
The media will cover anything they think the people want to see, it's all about ratings and copy.Should the media's attention to this topic increase, decrease or stay the same? Please explain your answer.
