Remember Bob Murray the crazy mine guy?

[spinbaby]

He's suing because he thinks the media made him look crazy:

Crandall Canyon mine co-owner Robert Murray is threatening to sue a professor and an editor over what he claims were defamatory statements regarding his behavior in the wake of the mine collapse.

Murray took offense at an opinion piece written by Penn State University engineering professor R. Larry Grayson that appeared in The Salt Lake Tribune. It criticized Murray's “bombastic” performance in the news briefings immediately following the Aug. 6 disaster at the Crandall Canyon mine that killed six miners.

The other piece at issue was written by Steve Fiscor, editor-in-chief of the trade publication Coal Age. The editorial said the coal industry “takes the ostrich approach when Bob Murray takes the microphone, hoping that he will go away soon and that no one will notice.”

3. Hmmm, the tried-and-true Fox News approach

When confronted with your own craziness or racism or intolerance or prejudice, attack the messenger for "distorting" your words or "taking them out of context," as if there was a context in which these crazy or bigoted remarks would not be crazy or bigoted.
