Petition to unlock a thread: Bernie Sanders ...
Mail Message
It's not about the source or who it supports or is against. The hosts felt it was a feature piece and not breaking news. I will take your appeal to the hosts and get back to you on their response.

maybe it would help if the fact that it was a NYT article was included in headline. Still does seem like a close call.

simply used that because it's hard to tell if the intend was to censor, the results are.

Never post anything in LBN. I certainly will never do so based upon my experience in having tried in the past.

The hosts continue to support the lock of your thread. Here are some of the comments:

Good lock, reads as analysis. I suppose an argument could be made that the 'news' is a recent Sanders news conference, but if every press event by a candidate is 'late-breaking news of national importance' then we'll pretty quickly need a 'LBN: Primaries' to go with LBN..

It itsn't locked for being NYT but for not meeting LBN's very specific SOP.

Its a good source , just NOT LBN.

Look at the Hosts of that Forum. It's like a who's who of Hillary supporters.

but that was not a clean rationalization........ or somebody doesn't communicate and say what they mean or mean what they say........... because one thing leads to another

.The Fixx................ isn't that an ironic name for the band and song for what I'm talking about?
