I think the right link is here:

I am not a Wikinewsie by habit but I enjoy reading the updates on the
planet thing... and I totally agree, finding this total opinion
branded as "wikinews reports" was really inappropriate. Copying the
Wikinews article, which itself was balanced: yes, good idea. Using a
blog that's supposed to represent all of Wikinews for your personal
rant: bad idea, no matter what the topic or how pissed off you are.
You wouldn't put it on the main page, would you?

cheers,
Brianna
