Glenn Greenwald tears into NPR, revealing it to be state-controlled media…
Totally: the best way for a news outlet like @NPR to show they're not beholden to the US government and are unbiased is to have the WH Press Secretary rise to her feet in defense of NPR and heap praise on their great reporting:pic.twitter.com/ygTRFPMkiO

Truly independent outlets anger the state. They often end up where Biden DOJ has put Assange, not showered with praise by WH Press Secretary.
When is the last time NPR did reporting that angered the Biden WH, FBI, CIA, NSA, etc? NPR does this for CIA:https://t.co/c66fYNXY1B

Here's a self-proclaimed "disinformation expert" affiliated with a DoD program also leaping to NPR's defense. Scratch a self-proclaimed "disinformation expert" and one finds USG ties.
Note how many state functionaries are vehemently defending NPR.https://t.co/Vh6j06b4xU

LOL – I forgot about this. There's no industry more intrinsically fraudulent than "disinformation experts." It's a scam expertise and so of course it's filled with scam artists and grifters, many of whom are lined up defending the über-independent NPR:https://t.co/FJiOp8H38T

Are there any self-proclaimed "disinformation experts" who *don't* get funding, directly or indirectly, from the US Security State?https://t.co/9BOjFn5n8j

NPR has an article complaining that Twitter now characterizes it as "US state-affiliated media." To prove that they are not, they cite the fact that WH Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre today "defended NPR's journalism."
Strange choice.https://t.co/g0RxjlR8op pic.twitter.com/W46ZFliqOX

Amazing:
NPR, in trying to argue it's not-state affiliated, didn't only cite the praise of the WH press secretary for its "journalism."
It also cited this bullshit self-proclaimed "disinformation expert" who works in a program funded by the Pentagon:https://t.co/g0RxjlR8op pic.twitter.com/5mhZDLdux4
