"high in her convictions..." "we expect..." "her sources..." "we assume..." "also likely, but not confirmed..." "the analyst is a bit uncertain..."

seriously AI, was this really 'news' worthy?

Is it the word 'news' or the word 'rumors', in the site tag-line, which confuses you?

Look at the top of your browser window.

If the content relating to analyst reports doesn't interest you, don't read those items.

Thanks for playing.

It doesn't matter whether I'm interested or not. I wasn't commenting on that fact. I just posed the question, "Is the story newsworthy?"

Well, let's see:

Timelines: Yes
Proximity: Yes
Exceptional Quality: Questionable
Possible Future Impact: None
Prominence: I've never heard of her... has anyone else?
Conflict: None
Number of people involved or effected: One
Consequence: None
Human Interest: None
Pathos: Well, yeah I feel pretty sorry for whoever deems that story newsworthy.
Shock Value: None

Factually: Not newsworthy.

The people who are interested will appreciate your sympathy.
