True, but most of the news you post about isn't significant in any meaningful sense of the term. It's simply weird, disgusting, or stupid shit that happened on that particular day. It isn't important. It doesn't affect anyone outside the story. Whether or not it's current, it isn't news and it isn't an event.
That's fine, and I'm not saying that CE should be entirely about politics.
I believe you're confusing me with JMA.
For once, I agree with Marney. CE should be mainly political, or at least meaningful, news. The "lighter" stuff fits better in General Chat.
