I don't think its just the media. The media were all over Campbell when he got caught in Hawaii for drinking and driving. It died down quick because the public finds him boring.

Svendy, on the other hand, is more interesting. His case appeals to the public because he's gay. They want to believe that he really is twisted and untrustworthy.

I have nothing to say about his personal life, but I certainly admired his politics. As to the theft, it certainly did not hurt anyone. Let the courts deal with it.

As for Campbell, he also committed a victimless crime but a crime that could have potentially killed someone. His politics kills people everyday so whats new? I have nothing but disdain for him.
