MainMenuLogic, SetNewsStatus, connection exception not shown.

During start up news cannot be retrieved on my host. This is correct.

As a result SetNewsStatus($"Failed to retrieve news: {e}"); is called in MainMenuLogic. However I cannot see this message being rendered in the UI anywhere.

The news pull down menu shows 'Battlefields News' and when opening the pull down it shows the I assume default release notes. Not the message or exception stack as string.

How to reproduce: disconnect or block your inet connection, see that no error/fail message is showns that indicates the news could not be retrieved.

For me, it actually shows something:

Maybe we should use SetNewsStatus($"Failed to retrieve news: {e.Message}"); instead, which would lead to the following result:

yes.

Thinking about it, news are cached in news.yaml, which means that if the game can't get to the website, it will display the cached message instead. But if there is no cached message, the error (stack trace) will be displayed. I'll file a PR to implement the change I have mentioned before.
