Why is news and other forums so sub divided? Its tiresome pouring through each sub forum to follow discussions! Are news forums are about bland corp. news dogma and censorship? What's the whole point behind sub-dividing all these topics? Just because the NYT, LAT, WaHoPo, Yahoo and Google constantly avoid things which make blogs necessary, our free speech shouldn't be cordoned off into sub topics like so many "protest zones."
The subforums make it easier to browse the forum, I think. There are only three forums for news, anyway - Latest World News, for all world events from within the past 72 hours; Current Events, for the lastest happenings in the US or important events in other countries; and Political Opinions and Beliefs, a place to state your opinion on an issue.
