Despite their assertions to the contrary, it is not the duty of private citizens or government officials to inform them of events that are not related to public policy.

I disagree with you on this point. We are bombarded in the press each day by politicians espousing their moral views on a variety of topics, so when an action occurs that brings into question the ethics or abilities of an elected official to carry out their duties, that does fall into the realm of public interest.
