I'm going to go out on a limb and declare Medved wrong.
The Judgment Day hoopla taught us the same thing every other idiotic media "hoopla" teaches us.
1. the media are like lemmings
2. the public has the attention span of a gnat
3. just as in governing, it's easier to report on crap than it is on real stuff
4. any idiot with no matter how small a following can get attention if he screams loud enough (Koran burning minister anyone? or Anna Nicole? or ... ?)
