because it isn't illegal to play online poker, and never has been.

That's exactly the point of why you do this. Legislators want people to think it's illegal-> media reports that it is illegal because the legislators say so. This is a challenge that the media can cover which may change their minds on the legality issue.

Well, I'm going to go into the park, and eat some bread. Maybe I'll get some media coverage for that, given that it isn't illegal, but I'm doing it anyway!

I really don't think that the media is under the impression that eating bread is illegal, but many of them are under the impression that playing poker online is illegal and they are spreading that impression to the rest of the country.
