...The fact that this story is getting media attention only goes to my main critique about media: not the supposed “liberal bias” (which really doesn’t exist no matter how many conservatives swear it does) but the endless fascination with the sensational and tawdry.

VIDEO: CNN President Jeff Zucker BLASTS Trump & Republicans on 9am Call with Senior Leadership •Dec 1, 2020
CNN President Jeff Zucker: “This is a president who knows he's losing, who knows he's in trouble, is sick, maybe is on the aftereffects of steroids or not. I don't know. But he is acting erratically and desperately, and
we need to not normalize that.”

Translation: "
Normalize" in media speak means allowing the person to be portrayed and/or edited as appearing to the general public as an actual human being. He can only be painted as a caricature representation of all Republicans/Conservatives.
Easy to silence and slaughter the opposition when you've stopped seeing them as human beings.
So bringing this back to Gaetz, then it's very clear that the DNC wants his scalp. he's defended Trump twice in impeachment and spoke out against BLM, the Border Crisis, but worst of all, he's gone after Hunter Biden. And since this happened when Joe Biden was Obama's VP, no, no no, that can't happen.
No one can ever criticize the almighty Obama ever. How dare Gaetz edge around that corner.
That being said, Gaetz open himself up to this mess. If he wanted peace and quiet, he should have not put himself in a position to be cancelled.
This story isn't getting attention because it's tawdry, it's getting attention because there needs to be a message sent.
Conservatives need to fall in line or fall period. Nothing has been proven yet and look at how good blood tastes to some of you.
