To be a “scandal” the general public has to know about it and has to be inflamed by the press else it is just business as usual and faintly untoward. Most people still get their news from the government press, even those who go on line, and will not hear much about it more than possibly a faint mention in the middle or end of a news story. It will not be castigated as embarrassing or bad. GS is not important because it is on the Left and anything that promotes the Left is good or inconsequential in the government press.
YELLOW JOURNALISM lives.
