I stopped reading the news because of this. When 90% of the articles on the BBC are irrelevant to me and have titles like "Taylor Swift Vienna concerts cancelled after attack threat", "The 'absurd' real-life sting operation that inspired a movie", or "Behave yourselves, China tells its Olympic fans", I lose all interest.

The news has become like intellectual sugar, written more for page views than for merely informing, and I find that exceptionally irritating. Writing so-called "catchy headlines" and an overwhelming bias towards bad news has made me sick with all news organizations.

Of course, I am sure some people like it. Probably most. I am in the minority for most things, but I simply hate it.

The BBC targets a general audience so it will naturally have a wide swath of topics reported on. The alternative is "Personalization" but then critics complain this keeps people in their own bubbles.
