On the day dozens of black cars pulled up to Madison Square Garden, the Daily Mail went wall-to-wall: the dress, the guest list, the "secrets." Within 24 hours it had published dozens of separate articles on a single wedding.
We are not going to pretend a celebrity wedding isn't news. It is. The question Decode asks is different: how much of the front page did it eat, and what got pushed off to make room?
That same week, 150 million people were under heat alerts and ICE was running about 2,000 arrests a day. Nobody hid those stories โ this isn't censorship. It's the quieter thing: attention is finite, and where a newsroom points yours is an editorial decision. A wedding is the easiest story in the world to sell. That is exactly why you should notice when it is everywhere.
โNobody hid the hard news. They just made the easy story so loud you'd never go looking for it.โ
