NPR received less than 1% of its funding from the Federal Government, but the trust-fund baby who owns the Tweety box doesn’t allow facts to get in the way of his little tantrums.

Sidenote: Twitter no longer has a press office responding to media inquiries. Anyone who sends the media department an email receives an auto-reply poop-emoji 💩.

Space Karen consented to changing the label to "Government funded media", but NPR's had enough - they're quitting Twitter entirely (although individual journalists/personalities are still free to use the service):

The Tweetybox universally drops the "GFM" designation, even from non-US providers like RT and Xinhua, not that it made NPR reconsider... a reporter there was told by Musk that onetime CNN honcho Walter Isaacson, who is writing the mogul's biography, came up with the idea...
