Trouble is ... things like this become news because they are "news" - i.e., once they receive a certain level of attention, that in itself makes them "news", whether they have any other import or not - and so then they receive more attention, which reinforces their "newsworthiness" ... etc. .... And, tbh, if you're watching news at least in part to be kept aware of what the issues and events are that the world is talking about, well, sadly, this is one of them .....

Btw, I heard in passing, on the news, that Heard had won some claim against Depp in a UK court - surprised it wasn't front-page news!
