You are welcome to bring in the peripheral issues. Don't be surprised, though, if most people want to stick to the main topic...which is...
Your side begged for media coverage by participating in flag and crucifix desecration, child abuse, threats of bodily harm, spokesmen who were off the chart in terms of extremism, and then when the media covers it, your side complains that it was not fair. You got plenty of media coverage from the far right news sites. That the MSM was interested only in the news and not a crusade isn't my fault or the fault of the media. Your concerns were heard a thousandfold over Michael Schiavo's concerns, at least as far as Foxnews coverage went.
I would hardly call those things done simply to bring in the media peripheral issues. They showed the character of those who would participate in such a show quite well.
