Taxpayer-Funded NPR Quits Twitter in Ridiculous Article After Correctly Being Labeled 'State-Affiliated Media'

[Red State] In this episode of Don’t Let the Door Hit Ya...

Welp, National Public Radio (NPR) made it official on Wednesday, announcing in a delusional, hypocritical article that it’s bidding adieu to Twitter after the Elon Musk-owned social media company "falsely labeled" the partially-taxpayer-funded media organization as "state-affiliated media."

Lemme fix that: Twitter correctly labeled the demonstrably left-"leaning" NPR as state-affiliated media.

As reported by NPR itself, the [ahem] "non-profit" company said it will no longer post fresh content to its 52 official Twitter feeds, becoming the first major [ahem] "news organization" to go silent on the social media platform. (See: "butthurt.") In explaining its decision, NPR cited Twitter’s decision to first label the network "state-affiliated media," the same term it uses for propaganda outlets in Russia, China, and other autocratic countries.

Memo to NPR: Propaganda is generated by innumerable sources of all sizes and persuasions, clowns. All you need is a narrative and a platform from which to spread misinformation, and often outright lies, to your low-information audience — most of whom are intentionally and smugly low-information.

Here’s more from NPR CEO John Lansing:

#3 They could change their name. I think Air America isn’t being used currently.

#4 I like the aviation theme Supe. If AA doesn't make the cut, how about Evergreen Air, or World ?
