Why does Galnet never discuss the *other* news?

By which I mean, the stuff that's in the background that mostly doesn't concern us, but still should be prominent on the main Galactic News Source?

You can't convince me that Sunday didn't involve a galaxy-wide broadcast of a Super Bowl between the Sirius Star Dogs and the surprise division winner the Hutton Anacondas, or some other two teams. Or that trillions don't still watch Premiere League football or the World Series. Or newer, zero-G sports.

Other everyday-life stuff feels missing too. Where is 3308's Martha Stewart? What DisneyPixarMarvelSirius (DPMS) movies are being released in 3308, and where are the articles about their stars?

Obviously I don't expect the writing team to produce a ton of this sort of content, especially since it feels like the writing "team" is one guy's 5-hr a week ancillary assignment. But I feel like just a couple of these a month would be a huge increase in verisimilitude.

(Hell, they could snarkily address some complaints in game. Like how the GPU shortage that has lasted 1300 years makes it hard to create a hotkey for turning on SCA.)
