Eventually it comes out that these people are having affairs, gay lovers, or other things in contrast to their public personas, and that’s why the attacks come so hard and frequently.

You are correct in that these stories were covered. However they were first ignored , then defended as irrevelent , then somehow private or justified , then covered when it became obvious they were doing all the above. IMO

Do a simple search of just the NYTimes on the affairs of Edwards, Clinton, and Weiner, and you see many many articles. And that is just the Times. The news lead with Clinton/Lewinski for months. And Weiner was the main topic to the point of boredom.
If it was OK for FOX to interview Jennifer Flowers, its OK for ABC to interview one of Gingrich’s ex-wives. And by the way, the rest of the media interviewed Flowers too.
But for me, I could care less about any of this reporting. I wish it all would go away, including questions about Gingrich’s marriages. But if you care about that kind of thing in your politicians, don’t complain when one on your side is questioned about his own infidelities. And at the end of the day, he did engage in an infidelity.
