“Inaccurately-labelled” multiple news organizations threaten to leave
Twitter - and Elon Musk - are having quite a couple of weeks. Recently, some of the bigger stories in thewere that NPR , as well as KCRW , and the CBC were pausing their activity on Twitter or leaving altogether.
NPR thought so as well, and it took issue with this label also, stating that it is “a private, nonprofit company with editorial independence.” This is a pretty fair claim as lcomes from federal sources , and a large share of that federal funding is used to assist local radio stations in licensing NPR material.
Further developments after that led to Elon tweeting out"Defund @NPR." and his very balanced fans who clearly took the time to do their research went after the broadcaster. Meanwhile, an interview with Musk himself went out from the BBC where he discussed his Twitter takeover and one of the topics brought up was the above-mentioned “government-funded media” label which was also given to the BBC.
Our journalism is impartial and independent. To suggest otherwise is untrue. That is why we are pausing our activities on @Twitter. | Notre journalisme est impartial et indépendant. Prétendre le contraire est faux. C’est pourquoi nous suspendons nos activités sur @Twitter.So, surely, Musk being a 51-year-old gigamind and ultra-billionaire reacted adequately and addressed these concerns appropriately. Well, let’s see.
