Several reasons:
1) Because Hollywood recently recognized his efforts, and being a darling of Hollywood gives him additional latitude with the rest of the MSM.
2) Because the MSM is heavily liberally and Democrat biased and because the "REPUBLICAN led house ordered his arrest" - never mind that he did not bother to obtain the proper credentials - the REPUBLICANS ARE CURTAILING FREE SPEECH!!!!1!1!!1111ONEELEVENELEVENTYELEVENONE!
3) And finally, bearing in mind 1 and 2: because it's an election year.

I have the same question, AlbD. I find it funny. They speak of alcohol like it is a crack. I am not discounting the affects of alcohol nor the problems it and alcoholism can cause but the way the media is saying "alcohol" and reporting on this just sounds absurd.
He was found doing  "alcohol" .
I can only guess it is slow sports news now and due to his past.
It is ridiculous though.

Are we talking about the baseball player with a rather checkered drug/alcohol past who seems to have turned his life around? Did something happen to him recently? I haven't heard his name mentioned in quite a while.

The only Josh Hamilton I can think of plays baseball.
He became a very vocal and outspoken Jesus junkie a while back, then started binging on booze and strippers again a couple of years ago.
No idea what is happening now with him. I don't watch the news.

Rangers' Josh Hamilton had alcohol relapse at Dallas bar
ARLINGTON, Texas - Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton, the 2010 American League MVP who has battled addiction to drugs and alcohol for nearly a decade, had a relapse with alcohol Monday night at a bar in Dallas.
Multiple baseball sources confirmed the situation Thursday night. The Rangers have known for at least two days and have informed Major League Baseball, which previously has recommended that Hamilton avoid alcohol but doesn't ban him drinking.
Hamilton is tested three times a week for banned substances and has never failed a drug test.
"We are aware of a situation but have no further comment at this time," a club official said.
Local TV station KTVT/Channel 11 reported Thursday that second baseman Ian Kinsler was seen with Hamilton at Sherlock's Pub in North Dallas. A source, though, said that Kinsler went there only after receiving a call from Hamilton.
This marks the second known relapse Hamilton has had since quitting drugs and alcohol. Hamilton drank alcohol in January 2009 in a bar in Tempe, Ariz. Photographs from the night surfaced on the Internet in August 2009 while the Rangers were playing at Anaheim.
He addressed the situation the next day and confirmed it was his first relapse since Oct. 6, 2005, the day he said he found a Bible at his grandmother's home in North Carolina and surrendered to a higher power.
"I wasn't mentally fit to go in there, spiritually fit, and it just crossed my mind, 'Can I have a drink?' And, obviously, I can't," Hamilton said Aug. 8, 2009. "That was very well reinforced, and I can honestly say since that night I have not even had a thought of trying another one."
The second relapse has coincided with the Rangers closing in on hiring an accountability partner for Hamilton. He had been accompanied by Johnny Narron on road trips since breaking into the major leagues in 2007 with Cincinnati.
Narron left the Rangers in November to become the hitting coach in Milwaukee, and the Rangers hired Michael Dean Chadwick, Hamilton's father-in-law, last month.
Chadwick, though, backed out 10 days later to concentrate on his family and business in North Carolina. The Rangers, a source said, were expecting to announce the new hire next week.
The Rangers and Hamilton have also been in the process of negotiating a long-term extension to keep him from hitting free agency after the season.
Tampa Bay selected Hamilton with the first overall pick in the 1999 draft, but he started using cocaine as a minor-leaguer in 2001. He failed multiple drug tests over the next few years and was banned from baseball in 2003.
My amateur take is, yes, since he went all Jesus holy after his last public binge, it seems very hypocritical and we all know how the media loves to act holier than thou and kick a man when he is down.

Oh yes, apparently so. The media keeps playing footage of him speaking to big church somewhere against a baseball field back drop where he apparently confesses his sins and ask for forgiveness.
News to me, I just vaguely remember the picks off him and those chicks at the bar a couple of years back. After that I never paid attention to what happened.

Ummmm, I have no idea on that one. But now I am mildly disturbed by this conversation since you seem very interested in his "blue" eyes.  I would have never known he has blue eyes until now. Creepy.

I saw a stat on ESPN last year they had his stats during day games and his stats during night games. Then they asked MLB scouts if its true that blue eyed people play worse during the day, and they said yes.

Because he used to be a cocaine and crack junkie and they are told to not do any sort of drugs after becoming clean.

Several reasons:
1) Because Hollywood recently recognized his efforts, and being a darling of Hollywood gives him additional latitude with the rest of the MSM.
2) Because the MSM is heavily liberally and Democrat biased and because the "REPUBLICAN led house ordered his arrest" - never mind that he did not bother to obtain the proper credentials - the REPUBLICANS ARE CURTAILING FREE SPEECH!!!!1!1!!1111ONEELEVENELEVENTYELEVENONE!

Were you following baseball the last couple years? 
The media REAMED Miguel when he was out drinking (with White Sox players, their weekend opponent) and got busted at the end of a couple seasons ago and they absolutely hammered him last year when he was busted drinking and driving down in Florida because he was a repeat offender.

am I the only one who thinks that this isn't that big of a deal?
Several reasons:
1) Because Hollywood recently recognized his efforts, and being a darling of Hollywood gives him additional latitude with the rest of the MSM.
2) Because the MSM is heavily liberally and Democrat biased and because the "REPUBLICAN led house ordered his arrest" - never mind that he did not bother to obtain the proper credentials - the REPUBLICANS ARE CURTAILING FREE SPEECH!!!!1!1!!1111ONEELEVENELEVENTYELEVENONE!
3) And finally, bearing in mind 1 and 2: because it's an election year.
I wonder how people like you fall asleep at night. Isn't it just exhausting to have your brain drawing those kinds of dots together all the time?
Actually if you had read the huffpo story about Josh Fox that I read first thing this morning when I woke up, connecting those dots would not have been an issue at all lol.
Admittedly though, yeah, I was still thinking about that story when I misread this thread title heh...

Why is the media making such a big deal about Josh Hamilton?
|
the media loves when a high profile junky fails.
not that i feel this is a major failure of course, nor earth shattering news.

Sure the guy relapsed but the fact he will seek help isnt a failure. he is one of the best players in the game when sober and he has seeked treatment in the past.

the media does not think things through...they are all about shock factor!
saying a high profile junkie is boozing it up draws more attention than saying a sober athlete is seeking help after a moment of weakness.
