In their rebuttal [0] to this, they cited a statement from the White House Press Secretary:
> When asked about Twitter's decision during the White House's daily briefing, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to address Twitter's content rules specifically. But she also defended NPR's journalism.
> "There is no doubt of the independence of NPR journalists," Jean-Pierre said. "If you've ever been on the receiving end of their questions, you know this."

- troyvit 4y agoIf you read more [1] you'll see that NPR used several sources' talking points in its story. So in this context who better? Also it's not like they received a real response from Twitter when they asked: "In response to an NPR email for this story seeking comment and requesting details about what in particular might have led to the new designation, the company's press account auto-replied with a poop emoji — a message it has been sending to journalists for weeks."
