Where are all the old, classic news?

GOG forums used to be the place for old news from my childhood, but increasingly there seem to be only recent news and indie news (like from buzzfeed) here. So what gives? Doesn't GOG forums get any old news anymore? You could get those latest news from any site for a nickel and a dime, why do they have to be on GOG too?

New news suck, they are always about some war in Syria and Russia this and Greece that... Remember when that Chinese guy stopped those tanks at the Tiananmen Square? That's the kind of news we need more here!

Maybe you need some Onion headlines:

Like this one:
Justice Scalia Dead Following 30-Year Battle With Social Progress
http://www.theonion.com/graphic/justice-scalia-dead-following-30-year-battle-socia-52356

Or this one:
Obama Resigns From Presidency After Michelle Lands Dream Job In Seattle
http://www.theonion.com/article/obama-resigns-presidency-after-michelle-lands-drea-52338
(Even though another article on the same site discusses him compiling a shortlist of Scalia replacements)

Or maybe you're tired of hearing about the US government and instead prefer something like:
Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony Gives Man Idea To Be Genius Of Some Sort
http://www.theonion.com/article/beethovens-ninth-symphony-gives-man-idea-be-genius-52362

(For anyone not familiar with the site, The Onion is satire.)

Maybe you need to read this article about TIME Magazine's man of the year (1938)?

Meanwhile, the Kardashians got more plastic surgery while the Cardassians have just been spotted in the neutral sector. Ben and Jerry's ice cream is now just Ben's, while Jerry will be running for president. And in the Oscars they've decided to reverse their decision to "diversify" and instead give the Oscars to people who actually deserve it.

Somehow, it turns out that no white people deserve them next year. Who knows why that happened?

Definitely not any time soon. Black people are nominated less because they aren't as likely to be doing anything Oscar-worthy.

In order for them to sweep the Oscars they'd not just have to get better roles created and produced, but also manage to prevent white actors from getting similarly good roles.

In other words, not going to happen ever.

Well, in 2014 a black transgender woman was nominated for an Emmy.

Also, just to annoy the right wing readers of this post (or perhaps make them laugh), here is another bit of news from the Onion:
Obama Compiles Shortlist Of Gay, Transsexual Abortion Doctors To Replace Scalia
http://www.theonion.com/article/obama-compiles-shortlist-gay-transsexual-abortion--52361

By the way, what's the difference between an Emmy and an Oscar?
