That's what "random 10 out of 67k sites" gives you. Your set was cherry-picked, dang's wasn't.

That said, dailykos.com seems to be banned. Happy now?

Not exactly cherry-picked, these were from things I submitted myself and noticed that were shadow flagged.

No, I'd be happy when archive.is, Federalist and the rest of the non-spammy ones are unbanned. (Also, even if "balanced" censorship was the desired goal, having a single unreliable left-wing source banned vs a ton of right-wing ones doesn't really achieve that.)

Definitely not random, in any case.

> Also, even if "balanced" censorship was the desired goal,

Nobody claimed that. You merely stated that "I don't see a single left-wing new source in there." and I offered a counter-point.

I didn't do an exhaustive search for "left-wing domains" that are banned to present you a complete list, this was attempt 1 of 1.

Following your model, I could claim that 100% of left-wing domains are banned, but I won't.

Have you considered that may speak more to your biases than the site's? How many far left-wing news sites do you regular?

Archive.is shouldn't ever need to be the primary site. Post a link to the original and then a comment to the archive site if there's the possibility of take down or issues with paywalls.

It is likely that people were using archive.is for trying to avoid posting the original domain and masking the content that it presented.
