Not long ago, there was an audio tape that surfaced about a certain man saying certain things. They weren't very nice things and people didn't like them very much, and the media treated the emergence of the tape as a scandal - both because it genuinely was and also because they already had an agenda to destroy the man in question. They failed at that, and while you could argue that the media should have paid similar attention to certain scandalous information about the man's opponent, you could hardly argue that the contents of the tape weren't newsworthy, or that they didn't reflect negatively on the man.
