Replying To TanCanRan:  "There isn't six or seven pages with all the headlines about one 17-year-old though. That's the key difference.

Second paragraph is some spoof when I've shown you that a lot of the noise is internal."
Let's pretend for a moment that there were 7 pages on a local paper dedicated to one 18 year old (not true).

How many things have national media outlets put out in the last few days relating to him between podcasts and articles? Many multiples of 7 that's for sure. They clearly know people like you are infatuated and will click and listen no matter what it is.

Most of the western people articles aren't even freely available online so I fail to see how that contributes to hype!

Replying To anotheralias:  "Terrible stuff bothering to read a paper from another region. Nearly as obsessuve as going onto another county's HS forum."
I don't consider 'going onto another county's HS forum' obsessive, as I'm sure neither do you. It would be very boring to stay stuck in your own echo chamber and on occasion there can even be a bit of craic to be had (though increasingly less so these days). On the other hand, if I found myself, say, going out buying the Roscommon Herald purely to fuel a dislike of the team/place/people, I'd consider it time to take a good hard look at myself.
