You Call This Journalism?

A few days ago, I was watching Sky News. I forget what they were talking about, it had something to do with the economy and sounded fairly important. Anyway, they interrupted it with a newsflash. What was it? A terrorist attack? Another Government cock-up? A sporting event? No. It was Gordon Brown and his wife going back into their home after having their child.
Congratulations to them and all that, but it's not something that you interrupt serious news for. As far as I am concerned, it's just two people returning to their home.
But that's not all, magazines and newspapers are full of things to do with celebrities that, to be honest, I couldn't care less about. Who cares if so and so broke their diet (yes, that is a genuine example). For one, it's none of our business, for another, it's not news. It's not even remotely important. People do these things every day.
So, are we doomed to more mind-numblingly dull, unimportant stories about celebrities we don't care about? In a word: YES.
