"Now the "non-stop" part was also replays but"
This is the point I am making. They weren't responsible for the replays that gave the appearance of being non-stop. That is the media. And guess what, the people who watched it. I didn't watch any of them after the initial press conference.
And it is definitely a public relations person that is directing them through this media nightmare. And it is from past dealings with the media in these types of situations that these decisions are made.
I am with you, I personally would not take this route, but I can see why they did.
I agree. I disagree that being on enough shows to make it appear "non-stop" is not the way to get the media to leave you alone.
