From the site guidelines:
> On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
> 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.
This would be on TV, is covered by "pratfalls", and is not intellectually stimulating. It deserves flagging.
The fact that he is being sacrificed now, in the context of his allegedly altruistic agendas is interesting.
