The US government-funded National Public Radio has officially abandoned Twitter after being labeled « government-funded media, » according to a recent statement by outlet’s chief executive.NPR, which receives millions in government funding every year and whose member stations tend to rely on extensive funding from taxpayers, complained bitterly this week after Twitter affixed the agitprop group with a label reading « US state-affiliated media. »The social media giant subsequently replaced the label with a more benign-sounding « government-funded » tag, but apparently it wasn’t enough.
