Not in MY News... Please

There are things that, for me at least, are just NOT news.

Novak Djokovic: Is not news for me and a few articles in my news feeds is fine, but enough already, time to let it go. Stop it. I don't care.

Britney Spears Conservatorship: So glad its over (!), can we never hear about it again? That would be great. Thanks.

Anything related to that fool Trump. Anytime I see a photo in the news feeds I think to myself the article is (or should be): This just in! Trump: Still an Asshole. End of article. Really I literally say that out loud when I see him in pictures in my feeds. I can't help myself.

The problem is any idiot can type up of a story without any facts and sell it online to any news feed they like --for cash. New feeds want to fill empty holes on the screens, I get that, but there used to be integrity and focus in the news stories that got published and read, now, its all a huge mess like most things in the USA.

And please stop picking photos that have nothing to do with the article! I recently saw a story on something the NY Governor said, with a photo captioned something like: "People walk down a lane in California," which is just plain stupid and ridiculous.

So I shot my wad and bitched, but do I offer a solution to my problem? Sure do. Provide me a list that I can add to, to block articles containing certain keywords. Does anyone do this? No, because that would make too much sense for an end-user. Note that I said end-user, not advertiser. I get it, Money is all that matters, ...but it never should be. 

Ignore these keywords, is just the sort of power-tool I'd like, maybe you would too?
