NPR is funded by the state and beholden to the Deep State. Can’t get any more “state-run” than that.
lol @ this and Musk taking away the NYT blue-check verification because of their fake news.

“NPR stands for freedom of speech and holding the powerful accountable,”
If he had just ended it at “freedom of speech”, somebody might have believed him. But he had to tack on his statement of allegiance to particular political agenda after that and screw it all up!

Hmm ... Seems like they’re a little embarrassed to be associated with “the state.”

It is state affiliated media.
Although it’s more party affiliated.

Yup, yep rather interesting how media is inaccurate in relating this news article. Even these reporters should be tagged & fact checked!

There’s no difference at all between commie propaganda and NPR PBS
State sponsored paid ding dongs reading the words placed in front of them
