It certainly is unclear here how any of those questions were applied in this example from the overall article. I don't see how you could have missed the "news" in that article. It comprised the first paragraph. "As word of Representative Mark Foley’s sexually explicit e-mail messages to former pages spread last week, Republican strategists worried — and Democrats hoped — that the sordid nature of the scandal would discourage conservative Christians from going to the polls." That's pretty straightforward--Rep and Dem strategists are wondering what the scandal will do to or for conservative Christian turnout. That straightforward news if followed by a bunch of folks with different POVs doing their wondering out loud and in print. I don't find anything unclear let alone "certainly" unclear about that. Personally, I find the business of anticipatory deconstruction of an election prior to the election a waste of time, but lots of folks, including those hereabouts, are really into it. This is just one example of it, a rather straightforward one.
