Lets be honest that the reason this is getting so much attention is for basically two reason. The first being that we don't expect "Television" personalities to be so vocal with their emotions. Humans are humans sometimes no amount of training or experience can stop something or someone from getting under your skin.

Reminds me of the video of Bill O'Reilly Flipping out:


The second comes down to the fact that Leo Laporte comes across as a relaxed and easy going guy. If Howard Stern or Rush Limbaugh blew up during a show no one would be shocked, but because Leo stepped outside the fatherly/good guy image people have placed on him it has become a big deal.

In this new world of cameras everywhere and on all the time, we the consumer need to move past the old idea of "Television" personalities not being human. If I called you out and talked shit to you while holding a Camera? Would you walk away or would you flip out on me?
