fictional wizzards being gay is news according to CNN

Again CNN stoops to low levels of journalism with a story about how "Harry Potter" author JK Rowling revealed that the wizard Dumbledore is gay. I feel like this is not pertinent news at all. I think the only reason this story is on CNN’s main homepage is because Harry Potter is popular and this will attract attention to the the site. I honestly think CNN should be embarrassed to publish a story about such a trivial matter. I think this is just another form of structural bias. It is frustrating going to, what I want to believe is a respected new site, and getting bombarded with links about fictional wizards that are gay and the like.
