I see an hour old post on the frontpage with 6 votes. This story has more votes in less time and is not on the frontpage. I think this is a far more important news story than "The Known Known".
Edit) So this tech related story is off-topic but the "known known" an explicitly political and off-topic post is not.

- jarsin 8y agoI submitted this way earlier today and got some message from the site I had never seen before that it was already submitted but it did not show it to me like it usually does, and it was nowhere to be found. I think this guy got it through because he did not use the original Breitbart link. My recent fox story about google got the silent ban as well.

Some domains are automatically marked dead on submission, usually sites with a strong bias or who rarely break their own news. As dang noted elsewhere in this thread, this story is notable and worth sharing, so it's a worthy exception. Users with enough karma can vouch for dead stories as well and make them visible, but since the dead pile is super spammy, most users don't bother to look in there.
