I did not say it was immature to not want to deal with the media. I said it was immature they way he handled it. Big difference. This straw man thing is a phenomenon of the internet - no one does that to anyone else when discussing things face-to-face. Don't do it to me, please. Thanks.
I do agree with you that the media has made the story;however, you can't expect them to not make an effort when he's sitting there at a podium. Sure, they could have walked away when he started parroting nonsense, but that was a story as well and anyone who walked away without that story, as silly as it was, would have been out of a job.
