As long as the lights cost money to keep on, they have to go where the readers are, for better or worse. I don’t get mad at my mirror for the person in it.
What’s journalism to to you, isn’t guaranteed to be to someone else- and vice-versa. And while I don’t care what celebrities do with their lives or social media accounts- I believe and accept that I am only part of the target audience of journalism-
Not the entirety of it.
So as long as there will be people that care about these sorts of things, they deserve to have journalism informing them of such things, regardless of how much it bothers you.
If you don’t like what private entities are publishing, you can always just start your own and only publish the things you like. They can’t even stop you, they have to just let you do it!
