GET WRECKED: Elon Musk’s Twitter Labels NPR ‘State-Affiliated Media’
NewsBusters ^ | 4/5/2023 | Joseph Vazquez

Elon Musk’s Twitter finally confirmed what the Media Research Center has been saying for years: National Public Radio is nothing but state propaganda.

Twitter slapped a “state-affiliated media” label on NPR’s account. Musk responded to conservative personality Benny Johnson celebrating that Twitter tore off NPR’s fake veneer of objective journalism. “Seems accurate,” Musk tweeted. MRC Free Speech America Vice President Dan Schneider took a blowtorch to NPR following the news. “NPR is not just state media. It is a mouthpiece of the Deep State,” he said. “It has worked to deceive American taxpayers about its real role, but it’s so obvious that it really is just a state-sponsored tool for the left to silence half of Americans and create propaganda for the other half.”

One of the many propaganda arms of the Media-Dem Party octopus.

We always called NPR “National People’s Radio.”

Unless some federal offices such as the House, Senate or White House come under the control of Republicans, of course - in that case, NPR becomes a resistance channel.

It's far more accurate to state that NPR is a mouthpiece for the Democrat Party, funded by US taxpayers.

Coming right after he removed the blue check from the NY Times.

Despite his loopiness, Musk has been a great asset, and he’s got nads.

Too bad Twitter is such a POS that no matter what he does to it he’ll probably take big losses.

Elon Musk just did more to identify a problem than Newt Gingrich did twenty-eight years ago

DEFUNDING' PUBLIC BROADCASTING: CONSERVATIVE GOAL GAINS AUDIENCE

By Thomas B. Edsall

April 15, 1995

On the day after House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and the most conservative Congress in 40 years were sworn into office, National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" broadcast a feature story on alienated young lesbians and gay men that could have been designed to provoke the political right.

The story was about "Homocore," a group "fed up with what they think of as the gay mainstream," as host Linda Wertheimer put it, and featured an interview with a young man describing his favorite punk band, the name of which many newspapers would be reluctant to print, and the "male lov

Very true! It’s definitely NOT a state affiliated media when the Republicans are in power.

Spot on. New York Times is at the pinnacle of the Democrat Party media spokes folks followed By NPR. Sometimes, I think eventually their party will hold the Democrat Party National Convention in the Times HQ.

Truth in advertising. It's a novel concept.

That tag should get slapped on CNNMSNBCCBSABC etc. as well.

That’s what I’ve thought of them as for decades.

NPR can be counted on to present the position of the bureaucrats in Washington every time, no matter what the issue. They are perfectly predictable.
