Will the media cover the Petraeus story for the sex/gossip angle?

This commenter on Krauthammer makes a lot of sense—both about the media and the so called “legacy” angle that some people think will moderate Obama’s behavior the next 4 years.

“Obama and the media today do not play by the rules of the past. Obama is not going to be cowed by concerns for his legacy -- he's already loved by those who voted for him and he's not going to get more love from them by trying to win anyone else over. In addition, he's a hard-core ideologue, despite his pretensions otherwise, and he knows there's more legacy benefit in pushing the ideology button than doing what's good for the country or the public as a whole. He's playing the Rushmore Annex card here, looking to get a spot next to FDR.

As for the media, likewise they do not play by the rules of the past. To prove this, you need look no further than how the media, largely en masse, has ignored Benghazi, which is, by any measure, a huge, juicy scandal. So, I do not believe that the media will cover this story unless Petraeus drops a nuclear bomb on the administration in his upcoming testimony. But then, his testimony -- if it even happens -- is behind closed doors, so again, that's unlikely.”
