Is this (post, thread) on-topic for HN? Seems to fall pretty definitively into the politics / TV news category.
(Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.)
