No. *Viewers* pay the bills thru advertisers. Agencies want viewers, and Teslas on fire are just way more interesting than rusting Fords. The agency doesn't care whether the advertisers are Chevron or Polestar or Pepsi. There are an infinite number of advertisers to choose from that are plenty far removed from the auto industry. Here are the top 10 cable TV advertisers in America for example, you really think all these companies closely monitor CNN's programming and will retaliate if the agreed-upon anti-Tesla quota isn't met? I can only assume some of you have not followed basic rational thought as closely or as long as some of us.

They were ejected from their office in Singapore already. May anyone explain to me how that makes any business sense? Is not paying your office rent part of "owning the libs"?
Business sense aside, there is right and wrong. You pay your rent. You pay your contractors and subcontractors. You pay your labor. You honor contracts. You follow SEC rules.Twitter sued by Crown Estate over alleged unpaid London rent

Your views on the merchants of doubt from fossil fuel industry are accurate. And short and distort crowd is/was real. But I doubt seriously they were bribing off the NYT and WSJ, CNN etc
As to the initial assertion that news outlets would go after Elon and Tesla because ... the reporters know who pays the bills? No. Its not like ICE automakers call their agencies and say, I want placement in all MSM! Auto companies aren’t that big, and only advertise in a handful of places.
Plenty of outlets don’t get money from them or oil etc. It just doesn’t hold up as a theory.

Major news outlets that don't get money from oil, auto OEM's, parts suppliers, auto aftermarket, dealers, etc.?
Hmm, did Tesla/Elon get money from oil? (hint: Saudi Arabia)
Guilt by Association?
Let's see. Politico, NPR, PBS................ then NYT and Post not much from those, WSJ maybe more....a lot less money than you think from those.
Two things for the "home" algorithm (soon to be NNs) to improve upon:
Mind you, 15 hours is still not enough time for traditional media...
I don't have much hope for anyone from Twitter reading this btw.
- Do not repeat the tweets already read - EVER!
- Bias towards more recent tweets - one of the main reasons people have to swap to the "following" feed

That’s an ad hominem, like most references to undesirables of the establishment.
Fuentes is the frog meme guy, I think? It also doesn’t sound very german.

Of course they have the right to free speech, doesn't mean you have to give them a platform.
