Twitter defines state-affiliated media as:

> outlets where the state exercises control over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution. [1]

This isn't an accurate description of NPR. The government has no control over the content.

> NPR receives less than 1% of its direct funding from the federal government [2]

Even Twitter recognized this and walked back the labeling. [3]
