Apart from the continual wailing and gnashing of teeth following Pruitt’s appointment to the EPA last week, there is no news.
Although … I now realise … that having reported the lack of news as news, that in itself is news.
Maybe the title should have been:
The only news today is that this is the only news?
Addendum
Now I think about it “news” must be the plural of “New”, and I think of a noticeboard or a bit of a paper where “new” stories were posted. So “news” is all the things that are new. So “is there news” is short for “is there anything new today”. So, I’m inclining back to the view that there is no news today.
