Except the difference is that the stuff about pop stars and football and chefs aren't typically in the US/World news sections. They're in their own sections: Sports, Entertainment, etc.
What the people in this thread are asking for is that the NIAD posts be placed in an appropriate section, which "Announcements" obviously isn't.
Also, while the NIAD thread might do well to foster community togetherness, looking at some of the responses on that thread to this one seem to do just the opposite, when people are calling others "wimps" just for wanting an uncluttered RSS feed, etc.
It's hard to want to be part of a community when someone who has a dissenting opinion is treated uncivily.
