The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It is fraud because they knew what they wanted and devised a biased scheme for it.

How is their scheme biased? They wanted to test Twitter's claim that major brands' ads wouldn't be placed next to toxic content. They set up an account that would show a lot of toxic content, and then checked to see whether any major brand ads showed up. Twitter placed major brand ads next to the toxic content - despite public assurances that those brands were protected against such placement.

However, X has the exact data about what ads were shown when and the facts are different than what Media Matters reported.
Media Matters lied !

How are the facts different from what Media Matters reported? What were their lies?
