Blaming the media wouldn't be proper in this case.It was not the media who exposed Petraeuss... but published the story after his resignation and investigation reports. Media is always on the look out for such spicy stories so can't expect them to do anything better than this.

As we all know, it all started when the lady started sending threatening emails to another contender who was thought to be getting close to Petraeuss. This matter went to FBI when this was reported to the police.

So the whole trouble started when a 'mistress' became too possessive about an already married man!
