It is hard to draw a line of principle around any area and determine if knowledge of it will provide relevant information about a politician’s moral character. The problem is that the media have an interest in publishing information that increases their audience, and personal information, especially of a sexual nature, will often do just that.
但是，了解政治人物更多情况的合理利益是否延伸到个人关系上呢？在任何领域边上划出一条原则线并且确定获知这些情况是否会提供有关这一政治人物的道德本质是很困难的。问题是，媒体发表可以提高其读者量的信息关系到它们的利益，而私人情况、特别是有关性事的私人情况通常正好可以做到这一点。
