I agree that dedicated news services could provide higher quality content in their domain. However, one thing I enjoy about monolithic news sources is being exposed to stories and happenings I might otherwise not know about. That's what I enjoy about HN vs. reddit - on reddit you explicitly subscribe to content you know you like, but on HN I find content that I like that I otherwise wouldn't have found.
