This is true, there's an inner kibitzer inside all of us who needs material. This is the real source of entertainment that the article mentions. Every section of the paper caters to this: what would you do about the war, would you have given poor people better benefits, would you have slapped Chris Rock, what would you have worn to the awards, would you go out with that guy, how should your team have set up their defense? The only actionable section is the weather report, you can decide shorts or umbrella. The piece is utterly right. News in the constantly-coming format is junk food. Almost no context is given, even thought nothing at all makes sense if you just watched the news. What is NATO, what is a central bank? Why are the same teams at the top of the league? All of these things need some basic explanation that is never in the news, but always in any basic long-form piece.
