I don't think it's well guided. On some level religion if one really lived it out would always be significant when evaluating someone's actions. Surely, religion is always considered relevant by the media when a well known Christian does anything bad.
Generally, the mainstream media stinks, and the presence of the internet based reporting is proving it daily. I'm not a conservative radio or Fox fan, but I am a mainstream media hater. The idea that anyone would pretend there were some journalistic ethics at play just seems laughable.
The idea that the media are in a position to decide what ought to be part of the story is in itself an insulting premise, and even if one accepted it, it's clearly not the standard being used in most cases. When an issue falls outside certain PC boundaries, the media gleefully report it. Again, see Richard Jewell.
