> It doesn't matter how much of your revenue comes from "federal, state, and local governments," NPR. If you receive any, you're government funded.
This isn't what NPR was arguing about.
But sure, every single media company that has run a paid-for ad seeking recruits for the military branches is government funded media.

The government funds lots of things through grants, like NOAA, NWS, Internet providers, even private television stations. NPR is funded through several government levels: federal, state, and local. So even the term "government funded" is very vague, and ignores several other major funding sources. The whole Twitter labeling thing is odd.
