I think its pretty clear and universal what "news of substance" means in the context of news journalism. In fact most newspapers have a separate section for entertainment for this reason.

Your comment and diction seem be the very definition of "insubstantial."

At least I never resorted to personal attack.

I didn't attack you personally, I commented on the content of your comment.
Getting deeper into this is a waste of both of our times, but for the record, the reason I felt it was a personal attack was challenging my "diction" seems to challenge my very ability to string together words. I took it as being told "you talk like a dumb dumb and therefore your argument holds no weight."

If that's not what you meant, well, that's fine, maybe I'm being over sensitive, but that is how your words were received.
