I feel like this one should not be removed because people want to continue discussing and that's easier on a newer thread.
Easier? You mean easier to duplicate? No need to split up the discussion. There's the link, welcome to continue discussing over there, instead of pushing the news back in front of the rest of those who may not have missed it.
Stop trying to shut down discussions that you don't like.
Different news source. But same topic.
Welcome to share the url over there. Duplicate discussion.
