Is it me, or there are too many articles about celebrities dying?



No need to complain. Just flag and move on. You and I don't understand why celebrities deserve coverage, but clearly plenty of others do.


Of course you understand. The media are businesses. As such they provide what the customers want and what they know about. As a personal view, it isn't until one looks at alternative news coverage (which I'll define as 'that which is not one's usual bill of fare') that the partiality of journalists and media empires becomes apparent.


Right, but the OP is likely questioning why HN, which is supposedly a medium at least slightly immune to the vagaries of normal celebrity worship, is covering it.
