As for it being a state vs federal office holder, I recall hearing a lot about a minister in Colorado awhile ago also. Not even an office holder.

Huh? Why would you throw in an news report about a minister in response to a comment on political office holders.

Of course the media is going to highlight sexual misconduct between ministers or priests. Sex and ministers is even better "news" than sex and politicians. The press would go into a frenzy if they had a sexual misconduct story on the Pope. The press really likes sex and boy scout leaders too. Is the press anti-boy scout because they mention it's a boy scout leader? Is the press biased against Hollywood because they print a story about some actor hiring a prostitute? I recall a story of a sting operation where police were getting BJs to get the necessary evidence to prove prostitution...there you have it, the media is biased against law enforcement. A school teacher having sex with one of his/her students...great "news" or is the media biased against teachers?

Anything about sex is good, but sex and any figurehead is really good. It's especially good if you can catch the person doing something he/she publicly condemns. And you can bet big money that the press is going to mention their public position in that context.

Here's some great "news"

I didn't copy the text, because I'm certain no one on this thread is interested in the details. The link is merely "for the record"; I don't expect anyone here would actually click on it.
