Yeah i'm talking about how famous the media made him..Next to Jack the Ripper he's the probably the most famous 'true crime' persona. Hell his ratings even topped Mick's and Mallory's :-)
I think a lot to do with it was the timings of the murders and who got killed.
And as Elvis pointed out he wasn't technically a serial killer. I think its pretty accepted that he did kill 2 people by his own hand (again I'm no expert).
I don't think you can say he was 'If anything, Manson's ethically worse than most serial killers. ' - I think Manson was more an opportunistic petty criminal than other 'famous serial killers'. The crimes of Albert Fish, Ian Brady or John Wyane Gacey are far worse than anything Manson did. I get the impression manson was an institutionally minded career criminal who all of a sudden had this new found power among these 'lost' children....
