While the media, in educating people about the TS experience I feel is being helpful, I also welcome almost anything that desensitizes the public to us. When I'm out and about I am thankful that people in this town are so completely bored with this subject that it hardly raises an eyebrow. So now there are still those who want to advocate for us but on the flip side our detractor's arguments aren't seen as being as sensational or thought provoking anymore.
To address your question, "I wonder if sometimes the news media is spending too much time focusing on the wrong things and telling stories that really are not worth the time spent presenting them." I say, "any PR is good PR."
