    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.
