They are the Intelligentsia and you're not a member of their clique.

Of course they would not let your words be published, they want to silence dissent or opposing views because they deem your opinions are disruptive to their agenda.

Happens all the time.

Did they write back and tell you send your opinions to twitter?

Does it seem strange to you, that within the article I find this link?

That is bunk, flat out. As we pointed out previously,

The bid thieves have descended upon the land. Just don't say you weren't warned.

Was this link of such importance to be connected to the TPP issue or did I misunderstand its significance to the discussion?

Another quote from the article: “The verdict is in: most U.S. workers would see wage losses as a result of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a sweeping U.S. “free trade” deal under negotiation with 11 Pacific Rim countries. That’s the conclusion of a report just released by the non-partisan Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR).
