A lot of it isn't actually news at all: it's news entertainment.

It's very similar to how professional wrestling isn't real wrestling, but actually 'wrestling entertainment'.

I call this the 'WWE-ification' of the news and politics.

You have to admit, Missing White Woman is a pretty classic storyline. Especially when the husband is the villain!

I can't even count the number of times Taylor Swift and her concert tour have been on the news in the past two weeks.

I assume Taylor Swift’s marketing machine is in full gear to distract from her getting into a relationship with a racist.

To corroborate your comparison between news and WWE, here's a list of "slams" and "blasts" headlines I put together recently :)
