      Because it’s a “newly received information, especially about recent events”

        So it only barely technically qualifies and you can’t justify squat. Yeah seems about right.

          That’s literally what news means. Something happened, here’s what we know. Why so hostile?

            So a cat in a tree is news as well then.

            And an orchard producing 3 fewer batches of apples than last year.

            And a slightly windier season.

            🙄

              Yes, minor news, but yes. That is how words work
