So you think that Twitter has actual employees searching/hiding Trump content, and programs it's algorithms to block trump content?
I absolutely know for a fact that twitter promotes certain sources and ideas. Dorsey and company admit their bias.
Dorsey himself admits the bias.
Are you delusional enough to think that highly biased ideologues aren't "shadow banning" some groups based on ideology?

Twitter is definitely bias and shadowbans conservative users. This specific post probably isn’t an example of that though

Every outlet has a bias today, there's no objective truth anymore. There never was, but at least the illusion has been destroyed and outlets can admit it.

Context in addition to the cherry-picked part:

They do feel silenced by just the general swirl of what they perceive to be the broader percentage of leanings within the company, and I don’t think that’s fair or right. We should make sure that everyone feels safe to express themselves within the company, no matter where they come from and what their background is. I mean, my dad was a Republican. When I was growing up, was on the radio all the time with Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, so my mom was on the opposite end of the spectrum and ...

You're post didn't refute anything 
FOX, CBS, twitter, WaPo ... are all outlets with a bias.

It provided necessary context to your post which implied that they've created and enforced an environment that discourages sharing of a "dissenting opinion".
I also have yet to see where it's been proven or confirmed that Twitter censors certain people or content while letting the other side go through untouched.
Twitter is unlike the others in that they're not content creators and therefore not telling a story that is able to be biased one way or the other.

Not really.
Did Dorsey deny the bias?

Now you're being purposely obtuse. If you don't see the relevance of the context then I can't help you.
Posted on 2/17/20 at 3:25 pm to Chucktown_Badger
No, you made this up
You're on the losing side of a discussion and can't find a way out.
If FOX "fair and balanced?"

I’m not scrolling through days worth of ESPN and barstool sports tweets, but it happens all the time
I can confirm that barstool always has tweets that is considered "sensitive material".
I've seen random tweets that had the same message. It wasn't anything politically related, etc and wasn't anything sensitive IMO but it had the message.
Twitter did decide to no longer allow political ads. From what I read, it seems like they recognize the influence twitter has in politics and doesn't want to be a platform that gives that much power.
If you idiots do some research, I don't think this has anything to do with favoring one side or the other.

I understand some of you will only believe what you want to believe and see what you want, but this is the legit truth.

* and by no longer allow political ads they mean no longer allow political ads that don't meet the ideological standards of twitter.

I am a twitter user and I have not seen anything that suggest they favor one political side or the other... But then again I don't follow political related shite. People RTing political stuff is too much as it is (and had to do a politics unfollow).
Again, people see what they want.

Sure. Which is why there are people that insist CNN and MSNBC aren't left leaning.
That doesn't change the fact that both of those are indeed left leaning.
CNN and MSNBC are biased based on what they produce.
Twitter (and other social media) are biased based on what they restrict from being produced.

I think I may have changed settings a couple months ago because I don’t see this anymore.

Well those to don't think CNN & MSNBC don't lean left and that Fox doesn't lean right then they fall into the category of people who see what they want.
Okay. You are 100% right. You know it all.

Link to anything supporting this position that you're trying to speak into existence so you can continue to play the "we're under attack!" victim role?

Well when athletes and celebrities are being criticized for just talking to the man, I’m not surprised.
