Thus, a pop star’s consumption of illegal drugs may be reported, but not his or her sexual habits (if they are legal). The private life of a politician may be revealed if it is expected to have consequences for the way the country is being governed; that of a top executive of a public company if it may affect the returns to shareholders.
因此，一个流行歌手非法使用毒品可以被报道，但是他或她的性习性（如果这些习性合法）就不应被报道。如果政治家的私生活被认为对国家的治理方式有不利影响，就可以被曝光；如果公众公司首席执行官的私生活可能影响股东的收益，也可以被曝光。
