Again... The newsworthiness of WLKY is killing me!

The post before this one talked about how the weather forecast on WLKY was unnecessarily super long and how it was newsworthy but time-consuming and not as relevant. This post is almost the same thing, except this one, is an article I found on WLKY's website.
I feel I should stop talking about how much bogus people post on WLKY's website. MAjority of the time it's actually notable like people doing great things in their communities and such, but making a slideshow about American Celebrities aren't helping the community a tiny bit. 
It's literally a slideshow commentary about people like movie actors, singers, and other famous people. I don't see a newsworthiness in this post at all, and thankfully it's not really made a big deal of, because it would only disappoint me more to see this be a top story of some sort. It's not that I'm a hater of this post, but if you wanted to post this online, then you could've just posted on a site that's made for this topic, you know?

News Critique - REALLY long weather Forecast on WLKY

I get that during that during a thunderstorm of almost any kind, it needs to be documented so the people can be informed. And we should get an update every now and then on a channel so we're up to date. But on Halloween, when a severe storm came in, it took up almost ten minutes to tell us about the weather.
Safety is a primary concern, but WLKY was taking up all the important stuff, like what's happening in Politics or everything going on in economics, etc. Most of our local stories were eaten up by how much time the weather forecast of what would be a ten-minute storm that didn't cause a lot of damage to anything.
I'm not trying to be like "oh, well WLKY isn't good about keeping up with their stories and only cares about the weather." OF course, I'd never say that. Though I'm getting the impression that WLKY doesn't always pick the best headlines for their channels, like on their website that Mr. Miller said, literally about the thieves being stuck in an elevator. Of course, I'd wish I'd had some proof of how long that forecast was, but I will provide a link to the thieves in elevator story.
