I do think users (from any "faction") that post negative news for a company they obviously don't like, quite often, should be told to cut it out.

I think we need to start assessing it on a relevance basis.  Current news articles relating to gaming are fine, even if they're just one piece of bad news after another; but dredging up stuff from months ago just to post something negative or having a completely unrelative article may be things we have to start clamping down on.

That would actually help a lot.  I do think someone made a good point earlier about misleading titles to make it appear negative as well.  I think people will start reporting this stuff more often if mods do something about it.
