It never ceases to amaze me what qualifies as newsworthy.........

From the standpoint of cockpit operations, yes, no big deal.

From the SLF viewpoint, useful information on the reliability of the carrier and on their adherence to proper flight discipline.

How exactly does this questionable news story accomplish that?

It is questionable that it is news at all.
