So your claim that "this is not news" is clearly something we can disagree on and your decision to repeat it is unnecessary. I know you believe it's not news. What's news is not objective. It depends on the person you ask. I did my best to find an appropriate place to put this.

If a story broke about something that happened 12 billion years ago, it can still be news if people didn't know prior to that time. It can still be new information. So the actual time an event occurred does not determine whether it is news.

You can argue as much as you want but that won't make what you say true, you are free to disagree but I won't waste my time on this anymore, I won't reply to your next reply. What you posted is not new information because we already knew about it, it was discussed a lot of times before.

Whether it's argued or not, what I'm saying is clearly true.

It's certainly true that I believed this to be news when I posted it. I can't prove that so it's not worth discussing, but you also can't deny it.

It's also certainly true that the age of information doesn't determine whether its news, since lots of old things are posted as news all the time, and what one person considers news another may not (as we clearly see in this case).
