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.

yet it is a convenient point to harp on in order misdirect 'the public' attention.
the rule is: always always project what you are doing in secret on your opponent.
hillary is/was one of the masters of this. also, the fact that reasoning skills are not encultured, while snap emotional reactions are entrained via all media is what's meaningful here.. glad that you noticed that it the topic has no rational merit. go figure out why thats a thing!

Which is exactly what you are doing right now.

Did you just post the equivalent of "I know you are, but what am I?"
