Please don't try to shoehorn items like this into HN's (generous) scope of "Anything[...]"; it's still not intended to function as an aggregator for displacing traditional news sources. By all means, if you're interested in these types of news items, there's no dearth of outlets that carry them.
"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports[...] If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."
