Question about the Latest Breaking News forum and its definition. [View all]
I'm sorta confused about this. There's a thread in the News forum about AOC characterizing attacks on Rep Omar as hurtful that was locked because it was deemed "Not important news of national interest." I'll readily admit that I'm no authority on news reportage, but that was a widely reported story that ardent supporters of Rep AOC, of which I am one, most certainly do find interesting.
My question is this: What criteria is used to determine which news stories are "important" and of "national interest"?
