It's nothing new that/It's no news that...

"IT' NO NEWS THAT/IT'S NOTHING NEW THAT Columbus discovered America thinking he was discovering the Indies." Are both acceptable? Are they interchangeable? If not, which one would be preferable (I'd say the second one).
  

Top answer

IT's NO NEWS THAT Columbus discovered America thinking he was discovering the Indies. IT'S NOTHING NEW THAT Columbus discovered America thinking he was discovering the Indies. The second sounds unnatural.
