[WikiEN-l] [[Portal:Current events]] (regarding is WP a news portal?)

[NSLE (Wikipedia)]

As an aside to all the discussion that's been going on about articles
regarding news events, why do we have [[Portal:Current events]] then? Fair
enough, some might argue it serves a purpose to consolidate all major info
in major current events. But I think it's ridiculous when things like
[[Richard Hammond]]'s progress in hospital is being reported at Portal:CE
daily.
