Most small planes are not supposed to be landed in a 15+ knot crosswind, so that makes sense.  I think I did it a few times though.

Elon Musk buys 9.2% of all Twitter shares. He's now the single largest shareholder. Next largest is Morgan Stanley- a financial institution. Lol. Musk owns roughly 4.6x the amount of stock as Twitter founder- Jack Dorsey- who owns roughly 2%. Twitter shares are up 20+% still from the news breaking.

It was just announced that Musk is joining the Twitter board. Looks like he's going to go all Carl Ichan activist investor and shake shit up at that shithole and actually fix Twitter.

He's so rich, I was hoping he'd just buy the entire company, take it private, and then delete Twitter. That would be the ultimate F**K YOU money move.
so how long before they unban Trump et all

Some do apparently, I think Trump was one of the most followed tweeter types back in the day.  I see tweets when someone links to them.  I would not have expected the platform to be nearly this widely used.

Trump would have won the election if he would have been censored better

Fox News' viewers can change their attitudes with exposure to CNN (msnbc.com)

I am curious as to why this would be a surprise at all, or worth noting.

He had a lot more working against him than mean tweets.

He wasn't gonna get a fair shake from the MSM from the very beginning. Same goes for the deep state and many prominent members of his own party.

He was undermined and torpedoed for 5 years, and unlike other POTUS's, he lost wealth in the process. 

I'm kinda surprised (OK, I'm really not - ego too big) he still wanted the job.

All that said, I truly hope he does not run again in 2024. Let DeSantis or Tim Scott have it.

Because when faced with facts and logic from other individuals, they remain unswayed.

That's not a joke, it's the answer to your question.

I think the bottom line of this "study" is the opposite, if one accepts that CNN gets closer to "facts and logic".

I think the conclusion is obvious, folks form their opinions based on what they get fed, and then cling to them by only dining on what they like to eat.  I would guess one could take an MSNBC devotee and feed them Fox News for a month or so and watch their opinions "evolve".
