True and while I won't watch CNN to confirm, I could imagine their spin of brave Robin defeating world dominating super villains (you know like the Joker and Bin Laden) while Darth Vader lurked in the Shadows, manipulated events and did very little of the 'heavy lifting' himself, except for the most vile of acts.
No doubt.
I prefer to think of those two as the Phony Pony versus Big Time. But then I see it somewhat differently than the media, that's for sure.
You're sure right about the "Darth Vader" spin.
