In other words, there's become a conflict of interest that shows to me that Serious Debates and News aren't as exclusively linked as they probably appear to be

I think that will always be the case though - we're not a news site and most of us would rather talk about the news than purely report it so I can't imagine a thread where the only thing being posted is information and news links. That can happen too but people are always going to want to discuss the issues that arise from a news story.
