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.
