Who is more at fault for all the mishaps of Tony Stewart? Is it Tony Stewart for being to rough? Or is it the Media for not looking at everything before they speak?

I think maybe there needs to be an option for equal fault.
Yes, the media will take a story and run with it, and try to blow it up -- BUT -- it is Stewart himself that puts himself into the positions that the media can take advantage of.
As far as the pissing contest Tony insisted on waging with DW... I do not agree with it. It is DW's job to point out things like that, and they have their right to it, because Tony has been putting himself in compromising positions. It was extremely uncouth for Tony to take pot shots at Darrell AND his family. Completely unwarranted and childish.
We're not in elementary school here.

DW has to learn to shut his mouth once. I think that DW is a "fan" now(or so he said) because he doesn't want to get ripped on by Tony anymore for not shutting his mouth!!

We need the option of equally at fault.........cause I think they both are!

Oh and I agree they are, but right now the media is so caught up anything Tony does is his fault. And I think it makes it easy for drivers to blame Tony more and more cause of the rip he has got from the media. I mean heck if a deer was to jump out in front of tony the media would find a way to make it his fault. Right now if I was a race car driver and I made a mistake and hit Tony it would be easy as heck to blame him and walk away and I would look good just cause of them.

I think they are both at fault as well. the TV commentators are supposed to comment on the race, not throw opinions out all over the place....which DW does a lot of. I remember reading an interview with Kurt Busch where he talked about what it was like to be a commentator for a couple Busch races, and he said it was hard for him to not be rooting for Kyle, cause he's not supposed to be biased to any team. I thought it was totally inappropriate for DW to say on air that he thinks they should consider parking Stewart. It was also inappropriate for Tony to bash DW the way he did....so it makes them both at fault for all the media attention it's causing.

Yeah I think they are both equally to blame.
The look on DW's face when Tony told him off was priceless...
Anyways yea their both to blame.
