It raises all sorts of ethical questions.

What about private sexual behavior is relevant?

Anything concerning a Republican, nothing concerning a Democrat.

What about a marriage belongs in the coverage of a presidential campaign?

Anything that acts to the advantage of a Democrat or embarrassment of a Republican.

Does it go to the judgment of the candidate in question?

Trick question, right? Correct answer: it depends, class altogether, on whether said candidate is a Republican or a Democrat.

Didn’t we all have a national nervous breakdown over these questions nearly a decade ago?

I don't know about you, but was fine. Clinton embarrassed himself so thoroughly that even the MSM couldn't cover up for him.

Just call me Professor of Journalistic Ethics. You can play along at home, kids.

Clinton embarrassed himself so thoroughly that even the MSM couldn't cover up for him.

And thereby raised his standing immensely in the eyes of his supporters.
