      This isn’t gossip, the police department confirmed that it happened. Recent developments about prominent figures are news even if you don’t think it’s newsworthy.

        Do you think that “gossip” means things that aren’t true?

        Recent developments about prominent figures are news even if you don’t think it’s newsworthy.

        The rules of this community disagree with you.

          casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true.

          The actual non-assumed definition of ‘gossip’ ^

          From the rules:

          All posts must be news articles.

          From the post:

          I’m not sure where you went wrong, but maybe take a few minutes before coming in so hot next time

            Just because the post complies with one rule doesn’t mean that it is now exempt from all other rules. I already posted the part of the rules which it violates: “No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed.”

            I’m not sure where you went wrong, but maybe take a few minutes before coming in so hot next time

            What does “coming in so hot” mean? Posting something that you disagree with?

              The first 2 lines of my previous comment focuses on your other rule issue.

              This is none of the things in your list using the proper definition of gossip.

              Coming in hot

              I was suggesting you should pause before acting because you were confidently incorrect about the definition of the word gossip.

        “Prominent figures” - artificially manufactured entertainers are prominent figures in terms of news?

            See that’s where I made my mistake. I forgot that people are much more invested in others’ lives, rather than the events that occur around them. My bad, you’re right. It’s vital that we know what’s going on in Justin Timberlake’s life at all times.

              Where did I say it’s vital? Lol. I don’t give a shit. But it’s still news. I don’t care about everything that’s in the news, do you? Sounds exhausting.
