THE UNITED STATES’ non-profit media organisation National Public Radio is quitting Twitter over the social media company’s recent actions to stamp it with labels the group says are meant to undermine its credibility. Twitter later changed the label to “government-funded media” and also attached it to the BBC. I think we’re adjusting the [BBC] label to be ‘publicly funded’, which I think is not too objectionable. AdvertisementMusk made no comment in the interview about NPR’s label being altered or removed. It tagged NPR with the “state-affiliated” label after Musk participated in a public conversation about the media group on Twitter.
