TL;DR

Twitter has labeled National Public Radio (NPR) as "state-affiliated media," a move that has disturbed NPR and raised concerns about public confidence in the news organization. While NPR does receive US government funding, it has editorial independence and is not controlled by the state. Twitter's decision to label NPR as state-affiliated media could undermine public confidence in reliable news sources.
