11. Several reasons come to mind

The GOP has adopted a number of policy positions which seek to erode the human rights of a number of groups based on holding up the mantle of "family values". Kinda hard to do that while simultaneously remaining mum on their anointed one's multiple affairs while newly wed to his third wife and an infant son at home. Remember that when the last one of these broke, the so-called "family values" wing of the party was quick to give him a "mulligan". It will be well worth reminding them of this the next time they try to deny the basic rights of other individuals from their self-designated moral high ground.

The WH has already denied this story. So if it is true, it's another example of Trump's lying and covering up his own bad behavior. It feeds the narrative that there's absolutely nothing presidential about him and no reason to trust him on anything.

The idea that the media or anyone else can't consider more than one story isn't a very good one.
