If something matters it makes no difference where it is coming from. In trivia, gossip and other news of that kind, the insignificant kind, which as such they should not have been published at all, again it makes no difference where it is coming from. News that their only purpose is to titilate the senses, smear personalities, sway public opinion from what it realy matters and achieve sinister goals, again it would not matter. Why would it not? Anything that comes forth as news is only evaluated by whoever receives it, the recipient. The listener, reader, viewer is the only valid instrument that separates what is worthy from the trash and he gets what he deserves, whatever that might be. If the individual relies on other individuals, no matter how good their intentions are, he/she has lost the battle, as there would never be a guarantee that any individual would think and act like any other individual next to him or her, and no rule devised by the system would ever be expected to safeguard the worthiness of a news story.
