While I do look down on celebrity gossip reading, I'm aware that that makes me a snob. However, that's not the issue I have here.
My issue is with the way papers like this, and indeed Fox News, report real news, important news. Reading celebrity gossip may be something that I don't understand, but it's not something than affects me, whereas the actual news, that has a very real impact on people's views on politics, society, the world and so on. That is something we should all care about.
