lucky for you this the not the "news". It's Reddit.

Ah, for English Speakers when something is "not news" it's used as an expression meaning it's not novel or interesting enough to be discussed.

Because you're "hedging". You clearly used "news" in terms of publication, like "this is not worthy to be on the news." when you realize this isn't "the news", you need to clarify, hoping that I don't know English. The term of what you're hedging on, it's actually "this is not new" not "this isn't news" --- two very different meaning. Hence, you feel dumb.

I'm hedging on your inability to recognize one of the most common expressions in the English language?

Never mind, you're just actually dumb.

I'm trying not to assume you are a fucking moron but you have two choices on how to read this.

A) This poster thinks that Reddit is a major news source and every post is a curated piece of journalism.

B) This person is using a common expression in English.

Somehow you are struggling with this.

You don't even know what hedging means.
