When should media report on rumors surrounding the sexuality of a U.S. Senator?
As the world focuses on the Ted Haggard affair, the Poynter Institute just posted online an interesting article about the recent rumors surrounding U.S. Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho, and the decisions that mainstream journalists faced in reporting (or not reporting) the rumors. Although there have been rumors about the "votes like he hates the gays" Senator from Idaho for years, no solid proof has surfaced so far. But if it were true, you can bet that conservative Mormon voters in Idaho probably wouldn't like it.
Here's the story from Poynter Online.
