The Media Feeding Frenzy over Charlie Sheen

Hosted by Kim Masters Mar. 03, 2011 Entertainment
Kim and John discuss the media's obsession with Charlie Sheen and their attempts to psychoanalyze him while outdoing each other with coverage. Meanwhile they acknowledge that there is a legitimate business issue afoot here given that Two and a Half Men is a huge grossing show for CBS, the network that broadcasts it and Warner Brothers, the studio that produces it.
