NPR to quit Twitter after being labelled ‘state-affiliated media’

[BidenPresident]

National Public Radio (NPR) said on Wednesday it will no longer post fresh content to its 52 official Twitter feeds after the US organization was labeled as “state-affiliated media” by the social media platform.

“We are officially de-emphasizing Twitter across the organization,” NPR said in a statement, adding that it had made the decision after Twitter refused repeated requests to remove the “inaccurate label”.

Maybe so but NPR is state affiliated media. That's not my fault.

I mean, what else would you call it......maybe "DNC mouthpiece"?......

I have no problem with the label, but why does the BBC not get that label as well?

Not very surprising, Twitter being "Illiterate-affiliated media".

 

[martin]

Our Righty members are naturally turned off by a network with adult programming featuring history, nature, the arts and period drama, which they of course never watch.

Your low IQ is not your fault either, you were born that way.

Pravda supported your messiah remember.

Responses from the Righties, telling us the intelligent, almost entirely apolitical programming, at NPR holds no interest for them, make this a revealing thread.

I do not recall pravda EVER writing anything positive about Jesus Christ. Was this after the collapse of communism? You got a link?

No, Marty, you have it wrong...as usual.

The history, nature, the arts and period drama are great. I watch them (on PBS , not NPR).

It's the news that is morbidly skewed to the left that is offensive.

Why do they censor the right? What are they afraid of?

"Apolitical" you say!

What planet do you live on, Marty?

Poor Marty.

Twitter has gone down the SHITTER under Musk's leadership!

^ Asshole don't like the news- so he wants to shoot the news delivery BOY!

He would rather get his news from FOX NEWS who targets their lies and fake news to assholes like him- Because assholes like him don't accept the truth, based on facts, and their FAKE NEWS and LIES, that are not backed up with facts, play into his political narratives- and it keeps their ratings high!

Next!
