Here's an article from time talking about the modern slave trade in Africa
This is a lazy, bullshit criticism because it starts with the assumption that they don't ever talking about something just because they aren't talking about it now.

Do people still not realize that high school gossip isn't journalism? So it's rather stupid for a news publication to pass off such crap as news.

As long as the lights cost money to keep on, they have to go where the readers are, for better or worse. I don't get mad at my mirror for the person in it.

If you don't like what private entities are publishing, you can always just start your own and only publish the things you like. They can't even stop you, they have to just let you do it!

This always disgusts me. In the words of the great Lupe Fiasco
- dude is dating so and so, blabbering about such and such. And that ain’t jersey shore, homie that’s the news! And these are the same people supposedly telling us the truth
Prophetic

They report on that because that's what their readers care about. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
I didn't state that they couldn't do both. I stated that their readership didn't necessarily want both.
Buzzfeed used to do exactly this - they used the revenue from the entertainment/clickbait articles to fund their division that focused on real news reporting. They even won a Pulitzer prize. They shut it down this year due to budget cuts though.
I'll hate both, thanks.
