Because nothing screams “journalism” like middle-aged men in newsrooms demanding emotional statements from parents about their kid’s mood. The British media has once again slipped into its favorite party trick—turning private family dynamics into a national scandal that must be addressed, explained, and dissected for the front page. Why? Because the Beckhams didn’t submit a formal press release every time their child rolled their eyes at dinner.

🎤 “Excuse Me, Mr. Beckham—Can You Comment on Your Kid Being a Teenager?”

What a concept: a teenager shows attitude, and suddenly The Times, The Mail, and about six thousand podcasters are foaming at the mouth, demanding answers. Is the family fractured? Is there a rift? Has a minor unfollowed another minor on Instagram? Get MI6 involved immediately.

Let’s be clear—if the Beckhams burped in sync, the tabloids would call it a cult ritual. But the moment one of their kids dares to exhibit a whiff of independence or (gasp) emotion, it’s DEFCON 1 in Fleet Street. “Sources say tension is mounting”—no, Janet, it’s called adolescence. It’s the part where humans evolve by being temporarily unbearable.

And here’s the kicker—it’s not national news.

It’s not even local pub gossip level. This isn’t breaking democracy, collapsing markets, or curing disease. It’s a sulking child in a mansion. The fact that editors slapped “Urgent” on this story while NHS waiting times and housing crises simmer in the background should earn them a comedy BAFTA. Or an intervention.

Honestly, if I were the Beckhams, I’d respond with a single statement: “Kindly jog on.” Maybe even have Brooklyn write it in ketchup on a slice of sourdough, just to really drive the tabloids wild.

Why are we still pretending this is journalism? Why are million-pound media platforms reduced to tattling on teenage angst? And why, for the love of all things newsworthy, is this plastered across national headlines while real issues rot in the back pages?
