Hmm. Remember there's news and then there's "news." I happen to hold the opinion that a citizen of America and the world to an extent owes it to themselves and to their government to be informed on what you dismiss as "current events." There are unique geo-political situations playing out in several different parts of the world that I like to post about because frankly, if you don't know what's going on in Syria or Japan or the Eurozone right now, I feel sorry for you. Etc. I get what you're saying about reddit current events as opposed to straight factual summaries of world happenings, though. And of course hubski's stated purpose is more about the discourse than it is about the articles.
