If you happen to check out some news websites, you may be shocked by the trivialities you find. If human intelligence means 'capacity for logic', 'emotional knowledge', 'creativity', and 'critical thinking', you can't help wondering who puts those news online and, most of all, why. You may also wonder about those who read such news, and why they are interested in reading them. Although each individual is entitled to their choices, without having to give any explanation about their tastes, at the same time you might like to know what makes such "news" worth posting. According to ancient wisdom, a news is worth reporting only if it is either interesting, useful or witty. Most of what you see online has none of these characteristics. On the other hand, Romans used to say that personal tastes should never be argued about. Still... you can wonder!
