I sure am glad the BBC reports on a death by licorice over, say, the Assange hearing. It is indeed vitally important for me to hear such news after all.

- cmehdy 6y agoThat's always the argument put forward, isn't it? But apparently in this case they can't, since they haven't. (yes, that is also a syllogism) Also worth noting that the definition of "news" seems to be fairly elusive, when this sort of "news" is worthy of an article and the other sort isn't.
- icedistilled 6y agoYou came to look at it. That's why it was newsworthy, it's the news that people want to read. News follows views.
- cmehdy 6y agoOut of curiosity, following that definition how do you semantically separate news from entertainment? I'm not asking because I am convinced that I have the answer, but because the question is worth being asked :)
- Angostura 6y agoThe BBC reported on the trial 3 days ago, no-one seems to have reported on the last 2 days, so its possible that there weren't proceedings.
- cmehdy 6y agoThrough HN the link seems to be posted each day with the updates, but if you haven't had the chance to catch it, there are at least two sources for the daily: https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/ https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/ https://twitter.com/kgosztola https://twitter.com/kgosztola No major news outlet however, and not even Amnesty international which was not authorized to join.
