It's a non-story. Who needs to know X erroneously blocked 1 link to NPR? And what's with the title?

>X caught blocking links to NPR, claiming the news site may be ‘unsafe’

Is it one link or many?

The appearance of a conflict of interest is a story. This appears to be a conflict of interest because a site is making it more difficult to read a negative story about a candidate endorsed by the company’s owner.

This is a rather pedantic complaint but multiple instances of the same link qualify as “links”. This is easier to see if you imagine them physically, multiple copies of the same book would be referred to as “books”.
