Twitter 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. [1]
This isn't an accurate description of NPR. The government has no control over the content.
> NPR receives less than 1% of its direct funding from the federal government [2]
Even Twitter recognized this and walked back the labeling. [3]

- rozal 3y agoI can't stand NPR. It's always one sided and always the typical US propaganda. CSPAN is where it's at for raw politics.

- kaeresten_dit 3y agoInteresting I was unaware of the lack of direct connections in current days My view was more from a historical context in which NPR as its now onown was a byproduct of the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 Thanks for the insight
