How the Media Is Handling Kevin McCarthy’s Rumored Affair

Why did Representative Kevin McCarthy abruptly bow out of the race to be speaker of the House on Thursday morning? According to most major media outlets, and McCarthy himself, in light of opposition from a bloc of conservative House members and his Benghazi gaffe last week, McCarthy wasn't sure he'd be able to win a vote on the House floor — or lead if he did win the speakership. (Or he just realized it's a miserable, thankless job.) But wait, what's this about?
Mark Halperin
That time everyone in politics & journalism knew what
happened and readers/viewers/listeners were left in the dark.
Halperin didn't clue in his viewers during Thursday's All Due Respect, so it's not entirely clear what he's referring to. But it probably has something to do with the rumors that McCarthy is carrying on a Scandal-worthy extramarital affair with Congresswoman Renee Ellmers. (The ensuing chaos is a good example of what happens when there's no Olivia Pope to tidy things up in under 50 minutes.)
Both McCarthy and Ellmers have repeatedly denied the accusations, and understandably, most reputable outlets do not want to run a headline that reads, "McCarthy Quits Race Due to Affair, According to Wild, Unsubstantiated Rumor." But Republican representative Walter Jones made the story hard to ignore when he sent a letter to Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a member of the House leadership, this week calling on any candidate to "withdraw himself from the leadership election if there are any misdeeds he has committed since joining Congress that will embarrass himself, the Republican Conference and the House of Representatives if they become public."
Yet many news organizations did choose to continue ignoring the rumors, or to repeat Jones's comment without any explanation of the "misdeeds" he's believed to be alluding to. The New York Times didn't mention the letter, but the paper noted that McCarthy's move "echoed the events of December 1998, when another Republican speaker-in-waiting, Representative Robert L. Livingston of Louisiana, was forced to withdraw his name for the job because of a sexual scandal."
Yes, there's more AND I think you could read a copy of the report it has a link .. I didn't read any links the article goes on .. here
