A Story that contains little or no policy content and is not related to the days event but that commonly discussed popular personalities and is designed to draw greater viewer interest is what?

I think is biased media coverage

Tabloids!! Well, the different things (stories?) in tabloids, anyway!

Yes, that looks like biased media coverage.

I'd call it a "feature story". Celebrity gossip is for the tabloids, but "mainstream" media increasingly does that kind of story, too. "Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have adopted another child." Such stories may be biased (being critical or in praise), but not necessarily.

You are correct! The type of story you described, which focuses on popular personalities, lacks policy content and is not directly related to current events, is often referred to as biased media coverage. This type of coverage tends to prioritize sensationalism and attract more viewers due to its entertainment value, rather than providing objective news and analysis. Biased media coverage can skew public perception and influence opinions. It is important for viewers to seek out diverse sources of information and critically analyze the news they consume to ensure they are getting a balanced perspective.
