NPR says it's quitting Twitter after being labeled "state-affiliated media" by platform

NPR said it's quitting Twitter after the social media platform labeled the news organization as "state-affiliated media" last week.

Twitter later changed the label to "government-funded media," but NPR said the labels "undermine our credibility by falsely implying that we are not editorially independent."

"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 said in a statement to CBS News.
