I care. A lot of people here, especially women care.
Newspapers aren't just product like any other. They are a large part of what forms/informs opinion and creates the cultural zeitgeist. I don't have a problem with seeing tits. I do have a problem with newspapers having a page dedicated to topless shots. And the language used to describe women is often despicable.
These are the newspapers that get left about for anybody to read. I remember reading them when I was a kid. They'd be in cafes for people to read having their breakfast, or there'd be a copy left on the bus. And y'know, I remember how it made me feel as an adolescent girl, seeing these bizarrely contrived topless shots of big titted girls in a newspaper as a bit of light relief after the main headlines. Full-on ass-fucking pornography is less objectifying than Page 3.
