I believe you are arguing semantics.

I am arguing that it’s fair. Whether it’s Fox News or Washing Post. If they receive govt funding, it should be labeled as per Twitter terms.

The title of the label is a different discussion in which I agree with your last sentence.

I'm not arguing semantics in any way. Hypocrisy isn't a semantic problem. You, on the other hand, are literally arguing semantics, since you're ignoring Twitters own definition, and just going by colloquial meanings.

> If they receive govt funding, it should be labeled as per Twitter terms.

I fully agree, they should be labeled as per Twitter terms. The Twitter terms clearly stated that NPR was not an example of state-affiliated media. It's problematic that Twitter labeled in a way contrary to their terms.
