No, I’m pointing out that your end of the conversation is built on a blatant misunderstanding of basic fact of history. There is no minimization of the news, the celebrity culture dates back to gladiatorial day and has NEVER been dominated by women.

No, war and foreign affairs and science are not written to “female sensibilities”.

You are, quite simply, pathetically wrong.

What changed was they realized men read the “women’s” section and so calling it that was stupid at best and at worst alienating a chunk of the readership. That’s really it.

TV news has ALWAYS been worthless. There’s a reason the TV comes first in TV news.

TV News can be summed up as Crime-Weather-Sports. It’s pretty lousy.

Wow, that is just insane.

There is no “minimization of the news” according to you, and it is men who drive this celebrity culture, and newspapers stopped calling the women’s section the women’s section because men like it so much, not because of feminist complaints in the early 1970s

To top it all off, you claim that TV news has not gone downhill and been feminized since the 1950s and early 1960s.

That is all too idiotic to comprehend.
