I had to google her after "Breaking News" headlines 😂
This is not news

I know right! I was so confused as to why I got a breaking news notification on my watch about this! I refuse to google her because next thing you know my social media will be filled with her, although just responding to this thread will likely have the same effect 😩

No they really haven't. Not like this, and certainly not as breaking news. Charles & Di being an obvious exception. Maybe Tom & Nicole.

Are you youngish?

Show quote history

Nope I'm not young, im in my forties.

I definitely remember seeing the gwyneth paltrow and Chris martin "uncoupling" breakup as headline news

BBC put a lot of entertainment news on the main landing page these days, have done for a while.

I think it's dumbed down a lot. But given that's how the BBC has decided to be, this is quite a reasonable story for them to cover.

I'd heard of her, because that was a year when DD watched Love Island (and I watched with her), and a whole different audience knows the Furies (which sounds splendidly mythological written like that)

I also think there's going to be a big story behind the reason why... so they are just teasing

Probably a cheating scandal but that used to be tabloid territory.

They always have reported on celebrities though. Especially celebrity break ups

The BBC did a "breaking news" banner for a sleb relationship break up? Strewth. They are getting worse.

Please tell me BBC did not send out a breaking news about this? I disabled them because their idea of important news and mine diverged!

Port1aCastis · 14/08/2024 17:55

Unsure why she's a news headline as there are lots of folks who've never heard of her and couldn't give two tossing turnips if she'd broken up or not
What's the big deal, nothing else happened today I suppose?

August - slow news month coupled with a dumbing down of news journalism in general which results in some BBC breaking news stories being truly mind bogglingly stupid and vacuous.

I don't know.. Why is she?
