Twitter: NPR is "State-Affiliated Media"

Also, y'know, bullshit-related.

Tucker:

On Tuesday, two days ago, Twitter slapped a warning label on all tweets from National Public Radio. Going forward, NPR will be identified for users of Elon Musk's social media site as "state-affiliated media." That is the same category as Russia Today or China Central Television. It means that NPR is not that different from the Tehran Times, with the exception, of course, of being less accurate and more anti-American. That happened on Tuesday. Why are we telling you about it? With all the momentous changes underway around the world, why would we open a show with a story about Twitter re-categorizing NPR as state media? Well, because it's true. That's the reason.

Finally, thankfully, somebody in authority has told the truth about something, and that is thrilling to see on its own terms.

Nice to see him taking a break from UFOs killed Kennedy... 

Update:Also, this thing of beauty from the great E. Musk:

NPR howled in outrage, but with its signature pursed-lipped fussiness. Here's a direct quote from a piece on NPR's website, which really does belong in the Museum of Uptight Liberalism: "NPR officials have asked Twitter to remove the label. They initially assumed it was applied by mistake," NPR spokesperson Isabel Lara said. "We were not warned. It happened quite suddenly last night," Lara said. In response to an NPR email for the story seeking comment and requesting details about what in particular might have led to the new designation, Twitter's press account auto-replied with a poop emoji.

Update: You really should listen to this whole thing, or at least read it.
