National Public Radio (NPR) said Wednesday it will no longer post fresh content to its 52 official Twitter feeds after it was labeled as 'state-affiliated media' on Twitter.
"We are officially deemphasizing Twitter across the organization," NPR said in a statement, adding that it had made the decision after Twitter refused repeated requests to remove the "inaccurate label."
Elon Musk-owned Twitter was not immediately available for comment.

Twitter backtracked Saturday after an uproar for labeling the U.S. radio network NPR as "state- affiliated media" and now calls it "government-funded."

EMusk's social media network has also applied that new label to the BBC, which is funded predominantly by British households.

Britain's beloved national broadcaster reached out to Twitter for clarification, news reports said.
