From the guidelines:<p><i>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.</i><p>I think they may have covered this on TV. Just a little bit, you know.<p>I've got nothing against the nytimes article that takes a very specific angle on this story and tells us about the kind of people they have in charge of all this, but straight-up "GM is bankrupt" stories don't really fit the HN mould imho.
