AIBU to think this is not news?

It seems they have an angle or am I wrong?

Also have no idea who they are.
I think someone finding happiness is great though not necessarily what I'd call news.

Which is what I meant in the first place. This is not a celebrity, nobody would know her if you met her in Tesco would they? Mind you it's as irrelevant as Love Island people who aren't celebrities either. This is only in the papers because of who her first husband is.

I wasn't disagreeing with you.

I know.

I'll admit to someone times aimlessly scrolling through the daily mail when I'm bored. And I was surprised to see that this was considered headline "news" given all that is going on with the world.

But you started the thread, making the 'judgement' "this is not news".

I think most people agree, and several people are saying, but I wouldn't expect to see "news" from those sources.
In the same way that when I click on my BBC Sports App, I don't expect to see celebrity gossip, but someone else would read 'Hello' or 'OK' magazines and be surprised to see the sports results there.

It's not the fact you (or anyone) chooses to read certain papers or magazines, more that you expect it to be different from what that paper or magazine usually publishes.

I know it gets slated a lot on mumsnet but, there must be a lot of Daily Mail readers or it would go under.

There will be. It's the "you're a Daily Mail reader" accusation from reading one article from a pop up, being told to "own it" (own what? I've not done anything wrong) and the unspoken hints that because I read that one article I'm a boomer/Tory/far right or whatever the negativity aimed at regular Daily Mail readers is, that's ridiculous.
