Charlie Sheen's Rant

One thing that I find interesting is how much the actual media today can put so much attention on one person, and how in my opinion, the media can drive someone crazy. Recently Charlie Sheen had a radio interview with Alex Jones Sheen bashed his bosses at CBS which soon lead to the end of his job on his hit show "Two and A Half Men" and the show was then soon cancelled for the rest of the season.
Even after his crazy rant (Which I have attached a link for) the craziest part is that this has put him in a better position than CBS. He has sued Chuck Lorre for 100 million dollars, Sheen now has 20 concert dates set due to the fact that his rants are so entertaining, and CBS President and CEO Les Moonves wants Sheen back on the show. Most likely because this was the number one show on TV prior to Sheens dismissal. I feel this is connected to media because of the popularity of this occurence and how fast this incident spread. There are many places to find this video, however one of the most important media tools today Youtube has logged about 280,000 views on this interview.
