Taxpayer-funded NPR mocks 'CaPitAliSm,' prompting calls to 'defund' media outlet
Fox News
National Public Radio (NPR) ignited a social media firestorm Thursday night over a tweet that appears to mock capitalism, despite taxpayer dollars accounting for much of the organization's annual budget.
The caption accompanying the article, which was written in both uppercase and lowercase letters, appears to mock the collaboration: "CaPitAliSm bReEds InNovAtiOn," it reads. The tweet's language sparked outrage on social media, with figures like conservative Tim Young calling out the irony in NPR's three-word post. "You wouldn't exist without capitalism, clown who is tweeting on behalf of NPR," he wrote.More Related News
