If you don't believe it is newsworthy then fine, I don't dispute that the suffering of the Gretzky family is any more than other people in the world. But surely if you have nothing good to say in a situation like this then isn't best to just not say anything rather than look like a tit saying you don't care?
The thing is, unless you know a person, it can't be sad. If my mother dies, I don't expect you to be sad. If you say you don't care, it's not really nice, but I don't expect you to care.

The death of a person is not sad. if it were, well, we'd be sad all the time, since people die all the time. It annoys me when people see random people who die and say "sad". Everyone dies, death is not sad in itself.
