When Might They Stop Beating The Dead Horse?

By your statement...unless I'm not reading it correctly.

Gibson's stardom is largely a result of his own risk taking and success, while this black eye is a result of his own alchololisim and what clearly appears to be underlying bias.

To say this is typical behavior of the Press doesn't really due justice to the fact that it's Gibson's rise and fall...not some manipulation or unfair presentation.

I still don't understand who copped out?
I never said there was any manipulation or unfair representation. The post is about the press milking it for all its worth, beating a dead horse. I guess we just see this differently.>

Are they really milking it, or just reporting a story as it unfolds?

Beating a dead horse (to me at least) means the coverage is excessive...but given the much deeper issues at play here (celeb excess, anti-semitisim, drug addiction) it would seem like the story has got some legs.
