      Always funny to randomly discover that you've been blocked by some Cool Kid Media type despite never having a hostile interaction with them

      People can block whoever they want to block I guess, but it's a really odd way for national media figures to conduct their online affairs.

          I think it's actually an unsurprising illustration of the echo chambers a lot of media figures live in.
