LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21 John Travolta has gone to the defense of Hollywood star and fellow Scientologist Tom Cruise whose religious views have been widely criticized.
A video Cruise's representative said was made in 2004 for a Church of Scientology event has been making headlines since it surfaced on the Internet last week.
The video shows Cruise passionately discussing his beliefs and declaring Scientologists have "the ability to create new and better realities."
But Travolta said he thinks the media is making too much out of the whole thing.
"(Tom) has -- we all have -- the right to practice how we feel," Travolta told People.com.
"It finally becomes unfair." Copyright 2008 by UPI

Dear John T.
There are many famous people who have many and varied beliefs. For the most part, the media makes little of that sort of thing. However, Tom Cruise made a very, very large fuss about his beliefs, all over the world. HE did that, not "the media".
Don't blame the media, they are REACTING to Cruise's "making too much out of the whole thing."
You can't have it only one way. If someone famous makes a "big deal" out of something, they can't then get upset when "the media" ALSO makes a big deal.
You reap what you sow.
