How can you doubt that line on its own merits given how you justify those merits in your first sentence? Whatever the source, an editing standard that gives "people what they want to see" even if it's not real news would inevitably lead to "ignoring real news stories daily".

"Real News Stories" is an opinion. Anything that happens in the world, from a fire in Spain to the score of a Cricket match in London, to who dropped of a popular TV show is news. Its not like they only show what happened on "America's favorate soap", they do air other news. I don't even need to see the show to know they don't do that (although I am going to check it out). I guess my point is just because its not the news you want to see, doesn't mean its not news.
