  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

It's probably not as often as it feels like. A headline about a Tesla fire gets more traction than other vehicle deaths. That being said, the problem is that both the fire and being trapped shouldn't happen, period. Even if it's a rare event.
