  I don't know or care about Business Insider, but if you are going to try diminish a source's credibility by calling it propaganda, at least spell the word correctly.

    I do two things as a matter of character. 1. I don’t make fun of immutable characteristics. 2. I don’t raise a fuss about typos, or spelling especially one letter ones in an age of smartphones. But you do you.

      Too bad your character does not exclude baseless accusations of propaganda. But at least you don't tease people for spelling.

        Baseless :) My man, if you don’t know that businessinsider is not a real publication, and are fooled because it has business in the name, then your perspective is so far left that there’s just no getting through. And that’s OK.

  This was widely reported by dozens of news outlets. You can take your pick across the political spectrum. I don't know anything about BusinessInsider, what specifically makes you say they are a propaganda outlet pushing a narrative? And what is the narrative?

There's been a dispute with that landlord since before Elon bought twitter, and not paying rent is Twitter's way of negotiating and other organizations/companies do similar tactics all the time. If you're in a contentious legal situation with another group, withholding payment and making an argument you're allowed to do so under the lease is perfectly normal. Unfortunately reporting on this is awful and biased and doesn't include nuance like this. It's just "omg twitter is broke and run by an idiot".

  Where can I read more about the dispute?

      This is just the lawsuit of the building owner suing twitter for not paying rent. Is there something else?
      - 93po 3y ago
        Is there something else that's relevant? It's 300+ pages of all the information around the situation, though admittedly biased from the landlord's perspective

        I was hoping to read more about the dispute you were talking about. As far as I can tell the dispute is that twitter didn't pay the rent and the building owner wants them to pay the rent, which is how this has been reported.
