# indeed
ive only flipped through the NOTW once or twice, and it was more like a celeb gossip mag, with 'exclusive' stories like 'my husband went out with another woman' or 'i was fat, but now im thin'. What about wars? Natural disasters? Important news that other papers were covering got pushed to the side in favour of trashy 'people' stories and gossip.

# Thing is
I feel the same as you, but about different subjects. I don't care much about natural disasters, for instance. Sure, huge numbers of people die, but natural disasters happen all the time, geologically speaking. They aren't really news, they're expected to happen. Politics, on the other hand, contains genuinely new events (sometimes) as culture evolves.

This is all very subjective and comes down to what you think counts as "a thing".

# Is that a quote I should know?

# Maybe...
It's from my old English teacher (I don't have a new one). Seeing as she's probably snuffed it by now I would have to google it to find out it's original source.

# So, politics isn't as predictable?
I'd say even more so. Party gets into government, breaks promises, one or two scandals during their term. Rinse and repeat.
