    The problem with lite/news?sort=latest is that it as of right now for example it’s showing only 2 hours worth of the many stories they publish, and there’s no option to retrieve more. If you check it once a day you’re missing 90% of what they publish.

    If you choose the “editor’s choice” link instead you’ll get all the many stories about the Olympics, US politics, and wildfires, and you’ll miss most of the stories that might actually be interesting on any given day.

    It’s a stripped-down low-bandwidth microcosm of this dysfunctionality of the whole news industry.

      I agree with you in general (would it be so hard to have pagination), but I imagine in the case of a disaster like this is designed for all the top picks from the editor would be of that disaster.

        I didn’t mean to imply that their top stories aren’t of interest, only that I wish it were easier to see more of the many things they publish.
