I think their issue is that it misrepresents the magnitude of the funding. Less than 1% of their funding comes from the federal government

Is that so? I thought it was a more significant source. But isn’t it technically correct, though? I’m not American, but Wikipedia says it was established by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967.

  If they’re going to label NPR that way they should be fair about it and label the other news platforms as billionaire supported media.

    Labeling media with their significant owners and affiliations of board members would be a great thing. As long as it’d be uniformly applied… And as you’ve implied, that would certainly be unlikely to happen…

    Yeah, they totally should, but this is Elon Musk we’re talking about, unfortunately :/
