That's fair, however there are a couple of glaringly obvious counter points that spring up from your post.

Considering that conservatives take turns in kicking places like twitter for banning their far right opinions, which they then feed into their grievance movement, how likely are right wing sites to then report on issues like this? I've seen this reported on MSNBC previously, which admittedly is a primarily centre left news org, but they are a news org nonetheless.

Again, I agree on your point concerning the lack of concrete facts, but then then your original post that I was replying to was also guilty of that same flaw. You made a speculative assertion that was lacking in anything to back it up other than the whines and cries of those banned. Are they likely to be the most level headed of complainants?
