Yeah the MSM will make a mountain out is this molehill.

Two other men who didn’t care for running for President were George Washington and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Washington and Eisenhower; that’s the right company for Fred Thompson to be in. I just read a bio of Eisenhower, and it said that he met with Taft in 1951 and offered to issue a Sherman-like disclaimer of Presidential ambition if Taft would publicly support NATO. Taft refused, and Irving Berlin soon after premiered his Broadway song hit “We Like Ike”. In March of 1952 the “Draft Ike” forces held a public rally in a 15,000 seat hall in NYC; 30,000 people showed up and chanted “We want Ike!” at the top of their lungs. Ike in London was sent a film of the rally, and he decided that it was his duty to run for President. He resigned as NATO commander and returned home in June of 1952, and 5 months later he was elected the 34th President of the United States. Those were better days!
Yeah, shame. I consider Thompson's attitude on this an attribute. It sure would be nice to get someone who wouldn't do or say anything to gain the presidency.
