Personally I'm against it. We have the forums to copypasta articles from other sites and then argue about them. Plus we volunteer for thread creation and actually have an incentive to do it (GamrPoints).
Plus the need for editors acknowledges a bottleneck. By the time the editors get through the vast volume of material they receive there will already be a relevant thread up. This is assuming the contributors are paraphrasing and not copy/pasting.
I say let the writing team do their thing. The OC we have been getting from them is pretty good IMO (reviews and other interesting insights), and the sales analyses from Will are nice. I may be alone in this but I don't read the articles for the news - no offense to anybody but it will always come to the threads quicker and in relative quality. Way she goes
