NPR on Wednesday said that it is suspending its use of Twitter after clashing with the social media company over a controversial new “state-affiliated media” label applied to its accounts. “NPR’s organizational accounts will no longer be active on Twitter because the platform is taking actions that undermine our credibility by falsely implying that we are not editorially independent,” the broadcaster said in a statement.
In an interview with the BBC Tuesday, Twitter owner Elon Musk acknowledged the pushback, saying, “I know the BBC … was not thrilled about being labeled ‘state affiliated media.’” “Our goal is simply to … be as truthful and accurate as possible,” Musk said, adding that he planned to update the BBC’s label to “publicly funded.” It’s just the latest example of Musk antagonizing media outlets.
😂😂
Who cares!
Nobody cares
Good
That's what a state-affiliated media would do Not a Joke! 💩💩💩
Bravo! I've contributed to it. So I know it isn't state-affiliate!
Good! Just another propaganda machine for the left paid for by the taxpayers!
Thanks elonmusk for MakingTwitterGreatAgain 🥳
NPR isn’t independent, it’s use of language in recent years clearly demonstrates it’s lack of impartiality, last summer l heard a segment on pregnancy with terms such as “birthing person”, and “chest feeding”, it does suggest a strong adherence to a pseudoscience religious cult.
Excellent. NPR won't be able to spread Democrat propaganda that we tax payers fund!
Waagh
FAR-LEFT PROPAGANDA MACHINE just like CNN.
NPR is disinformation anyway
Allah_Is_Kabir सूक्ष्मवेद में कहा है कि :— वही मोहम्मद वही महादेव, वही आदम वही ब्रह्मा। दास गरीब दूसरा कोई नहीं, देख आपने घरमा॥ मुसलमान धर्म के प्रवर्तक हजरत मुहम्मद जी भगवान शिव के लोक से आए, पुण्यकर्मी आत्मा थे जो परंपरागत साधना ही एक गुफा में बैठकर किया करते थे।
Good for them ... NPR are free to turn inwards to their aging core demographic. It will be interesting to see if they have enough faith in this decision to delete their account outright Perhaps before announcing it they should have taken a discreet pause for a quiet test run.
Never Pardon Republicans
The equivalent of 'I'm taking my ball and going home! Whaa!'
Twitter was right. NPR is tax payer funded. Their designation was accurate.
Truth hurts. Can’t lie anymore.
When will and MSNBC receive the same label?
Now Musk is going after the BBC
CNN is back to the top of the list for fake, manipulated, and ignored news stories!!!
Basically it's GavinNewsom s administration's radio station
Great news
GOOD bye. 🤣🤣🤣
Poor baby gonna cry because your bias…….go back to reporting news and not opinions, that’s how news works.
Can they take a few others with them?
Well, Twitter was correct….
Oh no. Where are the npc’s going to get there news? 🤷♂️
They are like CNN. AGinst the American people
Truth hurts, eh?
🤣
el71254 NPR should post their links to other social platforms!
Nobody will miss them.
Bye Juggas
And that day not a fuck was given.
Awesome
They literally are supported by taxes, whats wrong with the labeling.
They got their azzez checked.
CNN should be labeled as Democrat/Communist Propaganda
So if they care so much about that label, how about they stop accepting federal, state, and local funds 🤷🏼♂️ problem solved.
What's the saying? NPR 'This isn't an airport, no need to announce your departure.'
Where does NPR get funded again?
Buh bye
That is hilarious.
Good. Since Biden has been elected npr has lied and downplayed covid. They are complicit in 750,000 and giving millions long covid. They had doctors on saying schools were safe. 30,000+ kids have long covid in Ohio and across the country. cnn should get the same title!
It is controversial to be truthful. NPR is literally a federal propaganda machine and the smaller their reach the better. Is Chris on vacation or something what the literal F is going on a CNN this week?
Like a Koala in the rain: NoFucksGiven
So facts got in the way of their feelings….. poor babies
Why does the left hate facts so much?
The truth hurts, huh? Lol. There's plenty more that label applies to though... Including CNN. How many whistleblowers from 3-letter agencies need to throw you under the bus before you stay there for good?
A bad omen for Twitter.
That’s one way to help Elon get rid of misinformation…. Propagandist elite losers.
I'm sure CNN takes the governments money. They are all propaganda for the government.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, what is it? An elephant? It's a duck. Just because you guys have trouble recognizing things for what they actually are these days, doesn't change reality.
The BBC argued their case and Twitter changed that label for them. NPR should do same.

'State-affiliated media' are notorious for telling lies. Elon, however, singled out NPR because he can't handle the truth.
More companies should follow suit.
I’m sure you’ll get the same label soon enough, don’t worry.
Oh no please don't.
Lol
Bye.
We will negotiate. Stop taking tax money and you won’t have that label. Until then. You are state affiliated media.
