I’m surprised they stuck with Twitter even though they were labelled as state media

Why would they leave over that? That’s just a fact. They are state media. YouTube shows the same label.

Sure, it’s a bit unfair to tar the ABC with the same brush as RT, but it’s reasonably easy for a viewer to see that one is state media of Australia and the other is state media of Russia, and that those two are obviously not equivalent.

It’s exactly that it harms their credibility when they are associated with RT. Apparently PBS and BBC left Twitter because of that
