Sweden public radio exits Twitter, says audience already has
apnews.com> SR Ekot, which has been labeled “publicly funded media,” [..] CBC said Monday that it would pause its activities on Twitter after it was labeled as “government-funded” because it “undermines the accuracy and professionalism” of its journalists’ work
"Has been labeled"? Well AP, you're journalists, why don't you do your job and tell us - are those labels accurate?
This is a common tactic, presenting inconvenient but easily verifiable facts as mere allegations, and the journalist doesn't take the 10 seconds it would take to confirm* them on wikipedia.
*For CBC and Sweden public radio. In contrast, NPR only gets about ~4% of its funding from the government, so labeling it govt. funded is stretching it.
If you read the article, Sveriges Radio says their choice to leave Twitter has nothing to do with the labels.
I have read the article. I was not criticizing Sveriges Radio's decision, but the AP's reporting.
