WEKU has decided to no longer publish any content on the social media platform after Twitter falsely labeled NPR as “state-affiliated media.” It’s a term Twitter applies to propaganda outlets in countries without a free press, a guaranteed right in the United States.
Twitter then changed its label of NPR to “Government-funded media” which is also inaccurate and misleading. NPR receives less than 1% of its funding from Federal sources including grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
