Welcome to 2017.

In honor of the Fourth of July, aka Independence Day, NPR decided to tweet out the Declaration of Independence. Unfortunately, some Twitter users mistook the document as biased propaganda.

Supporters of President Trump tweeted out their objections to NPR’s thread saying it was one-sided and the reason NPR would lose their funding.

They did not realize the radio station was simply breaking up the Declaration into 140 character segments.

DEFUND #NPR let the Hollywood Elites pay for your biased propaganda

So, NPR is calling for revolution.
Interesting way to condone the violence while trying to sound "patriotic".
Your implications are clear.

Glad you are being defunded. You have never been balanced on your show.

Seriously, this is the dumbest idea I have ever seen on twitter. Literally no one is going to read 5000 tweets about this trash.
