After RT published excerpts from Twitter's "limited offer" to spend millions on US election marketing, the company abruptly banned all advertising from the news network. This makes full disclosure and transparency imperative, so here goes.

On Thursday, the micro-blogging platform announced a policy decision to ban ads from RT and Sputnik, citing alleged meddling in the 2016 US election.

It followed Twitter's report implying that RT was trying to influence US public opinion, crucially without providing context that virtually all news media organizations spend money on advertising their news coverage.
...
RT was thereby forced to reveal some details of the 2016 negotiations during which Twitter representatives made an exclusive multi-million dollar advertising proposal to spend big during the US presidential election, which was turned down.

Having since been banned, and in order to set the record straight, we are publishing Twitter's presentation and details of the offer in full.

Lenin said it: "The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them."

    So, the real question seems to be, just how much real Russian interference was there?

    If I had to hazard a guess, probably not much outside of “dank memes” and other crap that shows up on 4chan's /pol/ board. The DNC was Trump's biggest ally last year, and I see no signs they've even done sufficient introspection to scratch the surface of why that might be.

    In general, I am so filled with not-surprise that SJWs turn out to be two-faced jerks. We already know that white knights tend to be people who view women as nothing more than sex objects and have no particular compunctions against the home team committing date rape and sex fraud. It's only a problem when “they” (assigned males who are not white knights, particularly assigned males who are attracted to men and not women) engage in those things. Such hypocrisy. Wow!

    However, I am making sure I am adequately prepared for the level of not-surprise I may experience if it turns out that SJWs are responsible for the crap that happens on /pol/ as well.

    (If one really wants to find somebody who embodies the traits that “misogynerds” supposedly have, no need to look much further afield than the loudest SJWs.)
