“NPR’s organizational accounts will no longer be active on Twitter because the platform is taking actions that undermine our credibility by falsely implying that we are not editorially independent,” the news organization said in a statement Wednesday. …

“We are not putting our journalism on platforms that have demonstrated an interest in undermining our credibility and the public’s understanding of our editorial independence,” NPR’s statement said.

[The platform isn’t undermining NPR’s credibility. They do a fine job of that themselves. If they wanted to demonstrate independence, they could simply refuse to take federal subsidies, especially since NPR keeps insisting that it’s only “less than 1%” of their operating budget. And maybe they could start building credibility by reporting on stories rather than burying them. — Ed]
