Why did we not report on this interesting piece of news?

Walter Smith, a journalist on The Toad's Wotsit newspaper was shocked to remember that there was a world of news he could be writing about, rather than the sad death of a ninety-six-year-old woman.

'I am not easily shocked' said Walter, 'but it was a bit of a surprise to learn that things other than the Queen's sad death were happening. Like everyone else, I thought the rest of the world had stopped, and only our opinions on The Queen, King Charles III, Camilla, William, Henry and Meghan mattered...

'I mean, we have banged on and on about a lot of things and poured scorn over people, whilst forgetting about Prince Andrew...What is the world coming to when we forget to write about what is happening in Hollywood?'

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
