56. But since blogs are allowed as sources too, I don't think 'entirely objective reporting' is required

May 2016

It's related to an ongoing strike in the news, and it is new facts. It may not have the "a Verizon spokesperson said ..." that a media article would use, but I don't think 'reputable blogs' would necessarily have that either. Since it was picked up by news media, that shows it could be regarded as news.

When it's from a union, I'd have thought DU could have found room for it in LBN.
