Who cares about it being a scoop or how they sourced it. The information came to me by them. Where did you get the notion that any of this is the sole purpose of a news organization?

You know that the newspaper had other sections in it that, wait for it, wasn't news, right? They had lifestyle sections. They had sports sections. They even had comics. None of that was news as whatever your strict definition seems to be, but it was information that people were interested in knowing. Maybe you don't. Great. Move along and stop trying to ruin it for everyone else just because you don't get it.
