A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

They report on that because that's what their readers care about. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
I didn't state that they couldn't do both. I stated that their readership didn't necessarily want both.
Buzzfeed used to do exactly this - they used the revenue from the entertainment/clickbait articles to fund their division that focused on real news reporting. They even won a Pulitzer prize. They shut it down this year due to budget cuts though.
I'll hate both, thanks.
Except they also actively silence news people want to hear in the name of politically ideaology
