I feel like if labels like government-funded are going to be applied more commonly, shouldn't labels like media as well receive liberal and literal treatment as long as it technically applies?

Tesla's twitter account produces and publishes media for the public to consume.

Why not label Tesla's account as "corporate funded" media as opposed to "state funded" media for something like NPR?

Are corporate interests not likely to bias content as well in a way that would be worth being aware of? If so, why not be consistent about labeling for potential sources of bias consistently.

If not, what criteria should be met for being considered media that Tesla's twitter account does not meet?
