🐦 NPR quits Twitter over ‘government-funded’ label 🐦
* NPR says Twitter’s label, imposed by owner Elon Musk, is “falsely implying that we are not editorially independent” and is “undermining our credibility”
* Twitter initially labeled NPR as “state-affiliated media”, a term also used for media outlets controlled by authoritarian governments
* Twitter later changed the label to “government-funded media” and gave it to other organizations like PBS and BBC
* NPR and PBS have stopped tweeting from their main accounts and say they are not putting their journalism on platforms that undermine their credibility
