By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsIt's International Women's Day, and everyone's talking about ... Charlie Sheen. Sure, the tiger blood jokes are funny enough. But there's a growing backlash against the media frenzy that's been eager to document Sheen's every wild utterance and less eager to discuss his history of domestic violence charges.

But on the very microblogging platform that gave Sheen a Guinness record, that started to change ...

NY Gov. David Paterson Likely to Avoid Charges in Aide's Domestic Case
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyNew York Democratic Gov.
