Of course, privately owned news organizations do not receive any sort of label, despite their reporting and content being clearly influenced by their generally ultra-rich, right-wing ownership.

They use the “state-affiliated” label for that, not “government funded.”
Of course, we already know that labels and verification have both repeatedly been decided based on the subjective whims of Twitter’s owner, so it’s not like Twitter’s attachment of any of these things actually means anything.
