Were you given the courtesy of an explanation/justification? Who was the ''host" who blocked you? Somebody please explain to me why this story was not huge news. Historic crowd size for primary race. It's news, and when posted within 12 hours, it should qualify as late breaking.

On edit: as I type this the featured stories on home page/Breaking News are:
Advocates plan protest against gun shop opening
South Korea pissed at North Korea
Bangladesh Tiger poachers killed
Worker at wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant dies from head injury

And, oh yeah, a pro HRC opinion piece incorporating the fact from last Thursday.
“Republicans are systematically . . . trying to stop millions of American citizens from voting,” Clinton wrote in a Twitter message Thursday typical of her recent postings. “What part of democracy are they afraid of?”

A twitter message from 5 days ago qualifies as LBN because it was written about in an opinion piece?
