The presentation specifically promotes unbiased political reporting. In addition, many media organisations promote themselves as the go-to place for political reporting.

They proposed a partnership with an organisation they hoped would buy ads promoting political reporting. I don't see why this casts Twitter in a negative light.

It shows a Twitter desperate for profitability willing to work with known hostile foreign propagandists to target the US elections.

That kind of sounds like traitorous behavior to me, but I'm also a bit judgmental.

It sounds like Twitter is unbiased about who to work with to me.

If you believe this statement is true, then how do you know the post we’re commenting on is not propaganda?
