Meanwhile Twitter seemingly voluntarily put a British psyops officer in charge of the Middle East [1]. And for all their hand-wringing about state-backed social media disinformation campaigns, no western mainstream media have reported on this - not Reuters, not the BBC, not the NY Times, not CNN, not Fox News, not the Guardian.

Imagine if it was an IRGC officer in charge of America at Twitter.

Lol at the hypocrisy of ‘free and fair’ media.. hard to digest this but Trump was actually right about the media. If there was ever any doubt in anybody’s mind that social media tech companies are an extension of Americas gov and policy circles, this should put that to rest.

Many more people are more right about the media. Trump's critiques are ham-fisted imitations of more substantial ones.

Is yours a helpful comment? Are you positively contributing to the conversation?

There are many, many people who have well-developed media criticisms, Trump's are not helpful nor are they particularly accurate if you look closely.

Why would this be reported? What's the story?

Are you claiming that all media organizations are conspiring together to hide this information? What if they have no reason to report on it?
