Goofball Keith Hempstead drops lawsuit against the News & Observer

The attention-seeking McClatchy subscriber who filed a lawsuit against the News & Observer over layoffs has dropped his lawsuit. News & Observer:

The subscriber who sued The News & Observer last month after it cut its staff has dropped his lawsuit.

Keith Hempstead, a Durham lawyer, said today that his point had been made after stories of his complaint traveled around the Web. He was interviewed by The Wall Street Journal, ABC News, Harper's Magazine, National Public Radio and The New Yorker.

He said he filed the suit to get The N&O to stop cutting staff and reducing news coverage.

I think the point about Hempstead getting interviewed by several media organizations gets closer to the point of why Hempstead filed the lawsuit.
