Most people deny the clear and obvious bias (left / democrat) in corporate media. Just like most people denied the clear and obvious left bias in pre-elon twitter.
This then manifests in charging Post-Elon twitter with Right wing Bias because if Pre-Elon Twitter was "neutral" (it was not), Elon moving twitter slightly to the right means it now Right wing ...
Personally I think Elon is centrist, agreeing with some Right wing policies, and some left wing policies, but clearly has a personal bias which is reflected in the policy choices of twitter, too much so IMO.
That said most often when I engage on this subject I am faced with people that have the position that CNN, MSNBC, and NY Times, Washington Post, and other corp media are not organizationally biased, and that Pre-Elon Twitter was a neutral platform, so the hypocrisy of that position is what I challenge.

He spends his entire day reply-guying to right-wing loons on everything from COVID crankery to RaHoWa wannabes and throws around canned-ass Germany-in-the-thirties anti-Jewish bullshit because a guy sold some stock. Where his bread is buttered is simply not difficult to suss out. Now go on and tell me that anti-Semitism (no, not anti-Zionism, do not give me that dodge) is "centrist".
