The madman! Twitter implements "Ukraine state-affiliated media" tag. Outstanding. It’s fucking baffling to me that NPR and BBC somehow avoid the state-affiliated media tag. We should be putting it on NYT and CNN and shit like that too, but NPR and BBC are literally state sponsored media.

The BBC is a private corporation.

They don't get government money.

The BBC is state propaganda.

We just found out that Facebook gives backlog access to the government. The BBC works in the same fashion.

Saying anything otherwise is ignorant and willfully ignorant.

I didn't say the government doesn't have influence but it's not financial influence, it's power.
