I said: usually the angle is hypocrisy/dishonesty. This doesn't feature in this case.
Titillation is a much harder angle to get away with in the current climate.
"Juicy" is a very subjective measure that any tabloid editor has to measure up against the risk of opprobrium or stricter regulation.
I think this story, without the hypocrisy/dishonesty angle, is quite hard to justify.
(I think most stories about public figures' sex lives are largely unjustifiable titillation IMHO)
So - I understood what you wrote perfectly well, thanks. I just disagree with you on whether this is a story a tabloid editor would find worth publishing.
Have a nice evening.
