News is anything that attracts interest from the public. Just because you don’t like the story, doesn’t mean it isn’t news for someone else.It becomes gossip which belongs in gossip rags. I guess you could technically call that news.
This has been the media landscape for centuries, but it’s when self interest appears that certain segments become very sensitive to a particular story.
What you do is take a deep breath and deal with the fact it’s not going away. The sun will still come up tomorrow, your life really hasn’t been affected by the story other than your self perceived sensitivity to it.
