FR is first and foremost a political news site. It is not meant to be a gossip site

Right now there is a thread devoted to MJ, and several others which are decidedly not political news. What are the criteria for not having them pulled?

Who should pay $1.4 million tab for Jackson's funeral?

Top Ten TV beginning with P ( Disclaimer; I'm British)

World's oldest new mom dies, leaves twin toddlers

(BTW, I have posted about 1,100 threads, with a few being what I would term distraction threads.)

FWIW, MJ's death was a significant news event (personally, I was sick of it all within two days).

But at some point, some stories are just plain overly trivial and pure gossip. The story in question crossed that line.
