There are literally thousands of independent journalists who have been slapped with the label who do not even get a “small fraction” of their funding from an “authoritarian regime.” They just questioned the dominant narrative.
And again I think its a fair complaint, not childish. NPR gets a small fraction of their funding from various governments, yet substantially or fully funded information outlets are still everywhere unlabeled on Twitter... which leave them sitting alongside the existing labeled outlets from authoritarian regimes. If I was NPR, I would feel singled out. I would be pissed too.
