I think pointing out that a publication entitled "Weekend Edition - September 20th, 2020" was in fact released on a Wednesday, one and a half weeks later, is a fairly relevant complaint.
It's also an incredibly easy complaint to address, given that the only real issue seems to be the title - calling a release a "Weekend edition" when it is not released on weekends and actually covers three months worth of content, as well as backdating the release by 10 days, is honestly non-sensical.
Why don't you call it "NationStates Today - Q3 roundup" or something along those lines, which seems a much more appropriate title given it apparently covers content from July - September.

Following up on every single detail in all of the dozen or so articles included in each edition would require an immense amount of effort, without even considering that some of the original authors (with their expertise in these areas) are no longer staff members by the time of publication.
People also change their views about things as new information comes to light, which presents difficult considerations about what to do with quotes and opinion articles if we are editing articles after-the-fact. There are various considerations here, but ultimately substantially editing articles after they have been published is not standard journalistic practice.
On a separate note, I don't know why you feel the need to be so harsh by calling us 'lazy'. All of the staff of NationStates Today do this work because we want to contribute to NationStates for nothing material in exchange, and we each try our best. There's no need to share that sort of negativity here.

I'm not terribly concerned with the current discussion about NSToday, it seems like it's not really a large thing to update your articles upon publication so they're not months out of date, and refusing to do seems both stubborn and potentially misleading, but I also don't really care what NSToday does. However, what you're saying is a clearly absurd claim. NSToday is not a news organization for all of NS. The most recent issue had 0 articles on NSG, F7, GI, or the cards community, all large groups that surely have noteworthy events. And the most recent issue is by no means an outlier. So let's be honest, and call NST what it is. A gameplay magazine, that occasionally mentions other things.
