Fun:Media Whore

From RationalWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A Media Whore is a colloquial term for a person who seeks the attention of the media in the hope that this will further their career, or call attention to a personal cause. The term is used to describe those who actively seek this attention, not those who become notable for another reason. For example, George W. Bush, while constantly in the public eye is not a media whore. By contrast, Rosie O'Donnell, who has received much attention for her positions on the Iraq War and 9/11 Conspiracy might be fairly qualified as one seeking attention for her positions.
