Is it me or has The News on this site become little more than a collection of press releases stating the obvious?

I used to thoroughly enjoy reading the news from HJ's perspective, including auction reports.

Now it's just a collection of press releases, some of which are insultingly pointless.

I mean wasn't it just the other week we had a fantastic 'news item' from one company which said 'Research shows that car buyers are prepared to pay less for high mileage cars'. Really? Fancy that.

Today another, which prompted this mini-rant:

'Drivers 'lose out due to vehicle depreciation'

Really. Depreciation? Costs new car buyers money? Fancy that.

Can we have a return to sensible, intelligent news? Failing that can we be honest and rename it to 'Advertisiments and Press Releases'.
