No headlines for Desmond divorce

I see that Richard Desmond , the owner of Express Newspapers and Channel 5 , was yesterday divorced by his wife of 27 years, Janet . This story appears to have been carried only in The Independent . Why did this news escape publication elsewhere? I guess it's part of that informal - but rigid - agreement among media owners that ensures they receive no negative coverage about their personal lives. For the record, Mrs Desmond was granted a decree nisi on the grounds of her husband's unreasonable behaviour. Somehow, I doubt that the Sunday red-tops be chasing her for her doubtless fascinating story about what constituted his unreasonable behaviour.
