Twitter attached a “state-affiliated media” label to National Public Radio’s official account on Tuesday — a designation that is also given to government-controlled outlets such as Russia Today or China’s Xinhua news agency.
Twitter CEO Elon Musk highlighted the move in a Wednesday tweet, sharing language in Twitter’s guidelines that defines “state-affiliated media” as “outlets where the state exercises control over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution.”
I don’t necessarily object to the label, but it’s a bit disingenuous to hint that the State has editorial control. I’m an NPR junkie. Yeah, it’s a bit lefty, but they do at least tend to be more thorough than most other broadcast outlets.
