I don't know about a "shallow, politically whitewashed verbal ornamentation of the links", but I *do* want to see WeeklyOSM (and the rest of the community) try harder to not hurt individuals or make disparaging remarks about any particular member or project in this community. There are so many things happening in the OSM community: the WeeklyOSM team could do a better job at editorial control so that they could talk about all those things without letting politics or opinions show up in their posts.
