What does "liberal bias" have to do with this discussion? I get that you are attempting some kind of straw man argument, but I don't really understand how or why.

Did you read the linked Al Jazeera article? Did you read the Twitter thread on which it was based? I'm curious how you managed to leap from either of those two sources to the topic of "liberal bias."

What doesn't it have to do with it?

Conservatives believe Twitter is liberally biased, therefore they are bad.

This story is being reported because they believe the government was working with Twitter to suppress conservative views.

They take this report of US led psyops are proof of that, even though it is of course, not proof the US government was ever utilizing twitter to push liberal ideas.

In the absence of that, what's the problem here? Surely the US conducting psyops in the interest of protecting our nation is not something of concern to conservatives, unless they hate America?
