This is an example of what I was stating in my post about President Harding, during those times although the journalist as well as the opponents had scandalous information (regarding his having a child out of wedlock) it was not used in an effort to ruin his campaign. In more recent years (such as the Clinton administration) all things private become public, but society has a different view. Many people believe that although an elected official should have a different set of standards and morals, more individuals are willing to overlook some things. Of course, we must also take into account that there are far more media outlets now to shed light on scandals than just journalist from Harding's era.
