hello, i am a new contirbutor and willing to help, can i work on this issue?

[dcalhoun]

Personally, I do not consider this is a legitimate bug. I think the outcome—publishing empty media blocks—is expected. Also, this same flow is possible in the web editor. I suggest we close this issue as "won't fix."

WDYT @nbradbury?

@dcalhoun If this is how the web editor works, then I agree with you. I'll close this.
