I'm actually a 'Friends' fan.
I've watched it from the beginning to the final episode.

I'm aware of Perry's stuggles, but I've also thought since I watched him on that reunion show and read a bit more about his struggles that this was probably an inevitable ending.

I also understand the 'war weariness' aspect where folks would rather not hear about what's happening in Ukraine and the Middle East.

We're mostly not directly affected.
The media understand that, so they go with the more relevant to the viewer/reader.
We'll be more concerned with Bushfires for the next day or two.

It's understandable, but just a little strange.

Its stupid what people find 'newsworthy'.

Quick digression....
Taylor Swift is (apparantly) one of the biggest singers in the world with a huge following. She is currently dating one of the NFL, Kansas City Chiefs, players - Travis Kelce. They won the superbowl last year and did 3 years ago as well. They are the best team in the league.

During a recent broadcast, they provided a stat on how many yards said player would get into "When Taylor Swift was at the game" and "When she wasn't".
That was deemed newsworthy.....her attendence and the 'effect' it had on his performance. Not only was it highlighted during the game. That stat has gone viral. You'd have a hard time working out if they won or lost the game, but 'Taylor Swift stats....'  :

News, and newsworthyness, as we know it is far different to what it was in decades past.
