"News" items really ads?

[Senior Member]

Why do most of the "News" items on the front page read like advertisements these days?

Are you referring to the press releases? They're... press releases.

If that's the case, then the use of the word "news" IMHO is misleading, or at least inaccurate. How about "Press Releases" or "Press Releases / News"?

It's news about pressreleases
