Truth hurts, I suppose? Or are you going to argue with a straight face that the fact that NPRs CEO came directly from US government propaganda bureau doesn't prove the new labeling correct?

Yes, I am going to argue that that does not prove the new labelling correct. You're assuming bad faith, and using ad hominem to do it.

Folks, this is what he's calling a "US Government propaganda bureau": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Agency_for_Global_Media

Just read Lansing's bio, trasz3 is all over the place mischaracterizing him.

I don't care about Lensing's bio, or even him as a person. What matters is, ex-propaganda (protip: https://www.wordnik.com/words/propaganda) bureau head is now leading NPR, an allegedly independent institution. Imagine what you wrote above but substituting China for US.
