Tiger Woods personal life is trivial and not newsworthy
This is ridiculous! How can you compare a man's personal life's scandals, none of which is life threatning, to for example the American Empire's directly or indirectly causing the death of nearly approximately a half million people in the middle east in just the last decade alone? We Amercians and English speakers who watch France 24 could give two hoots about sex, drug and other morality scandals that do not involve the deprivation of "life, liberty and property". We do care about more serious issues. And on the lighter side we do care about culture, lifestyle, humour, etc.
How you can give so much time to these trivial issues of the benign affairs of the rich and famous is beyond. On the other hand you are just selling out and trying to grab part of that gossipy, hypocritical, vicarious, and self righteous demographic.
