Story highlights NPR tweeted the entire Declaration of Independence to mark Independence DaySome people thought the outlet actually wanted to overthrow the government(CNN) NPR calling for listeners to overthrow the government definitely would have made for an interesting Independence Day. But the public radio network wasn't calling for a revolution, and it wasn't calling the President a tyrant. NPR was just doing what it has done for years on the Fourth of July: Reciting the Declaration of Independence. NPR posted the declaration word for word. And without scrolling through NPR's feed for context, some thought the news outlet was encouraging Americans to revolt.
