The news section, over time, became a place where quantity trumped quality. Every piece of crap article that no one cared about was posted until the integrity of the news section was destroyed, and we're still feeling the effects of that now. Even though it has calmed down a good bit, it's a far cry from the day when our articles were huge hits on Digg and could hit 200,000+ views.
People want to read interesting articles and not have to sift through an overwhelming load of information that they don't care about. The site in general has suffered from this bout of information overload.
