> Can't we simply ignore a bunch of nuts in a small town in Florida who want to start a fire in their backyard? Seriously. We're giving them what they want by paying attention. Do we hear about every KKK barbecue? Do we need to? Aren't we better off if we don't provide free publicity? Right now some angsty teenager is doodling Muhammad on his notebook, and unless someone throws gas on the fire by making it a news story, it will remain a non-event. There is a cause and effect with stories like these--the media create the news, like the ground zero mosque story.
