I can't for the life of me figure out the over-the-top condescension in this post. A quick internet search reveals news sites devoted to such "hard-hitting" topics as cycling, cars, horse racing, movies and celebrities, computers, restaurants, etc.
I don't begrudge any of those sites for their particular focus or editorial slant, nor do their existence make me want to renounce my humainty. You clearly have some very specific ideas about what is and is not news, but I really can't see how happynews falls short of being news. It's just yet another news site with yet another focus.
