Is the media finally in danger of Charlie Sheen overload? We think so.
The unhinged actor, whose associations with drugs, hookers and porn stars have kept him in the headlines since last fall, has given four major video interviews since CBS last week abruptly canceled his hit show, "Two and a Half Men." And Sheen's termination, fittingly enough, issued from yet another controversial media appearance, a radio interview in which Sheen repeatedly attacked the show's creator.
The latest round of highly candid Sheen interviews with ABC News, NBC News, TMZ and CNN has made for endlessly entertaining TV and online video, which have, in turn, fanned out into a constant stream of tweets and blog posts chronicling Sheen's eccentric and at times incoherent, ramblings. Indeed, Sheen-mania built to such a pitch that the star's own longtime publicist resigned because "I'm unable to work effectively as his publicist."
But as producers and commentators continue to program even more ranting Sheen footage, some media critics are taking issue with the whole spectacle. Sheen has clearly suffered some sort of mental disturbance, they insist, and it's unseemly for news professionals to keep using his outbursts to feed the 24/7 news cycles.
We think "They're not just pointing at Charlie Sheen's self-immolation, they are throwing gasoline on it, and with Sheen's distress as obvious as it is, making accomplices of the audience."
We think that all the tabloids should stop returning Charlie's texts and calls. Instead, the media should be using their journalism to identify key people around Charlie who can actually get him into a rehab or psychiatric hospital, even if it's against his will at this point. Persons closest to Charlie......Get him some help! He's self destructing in front of our very eyes.
