The Associated Press (AP) is facing criticism for its style guide, which allegedly promotes far-left viewpoints on sensitive topics like immigration, transgenderism, and race. The controversy stems from the AP's refusal to use President Trump's designated name for the Gulf of Mexico, leading to the White House barring them from events.
The Associated Press has come under fire this week for maintaining a style guide that enforces far-left speech codes on political discourse. The speech codes, which primarily target the topics of immigration, transgenderism, and race, recently came to light due to the AP’s feud with the White House.
The outlet refuses to recognize the “Gulf of America” as the official name after President Donald Trump’s declaration. In turn, the White House barred the outlet from White House events. The AP, threatening to sue, claims the White House is abridging its First Amendment rights by cutting off their access. The establishment media are weighing whether or not to boycott White House events to support the AP.Axios on Monday. “This is about AP weaponizing language through their stylebook to push a partisan worldview in contrast with the traditional and deeply held beliefs of many Americans and many people around the world.”“all views” in transgender coverage: The guide says to “avoid false balance giving a platform to unqualified claims or sources in the guise of balancing a story by including all views.”the use of “gender-affirming care”: The guide says to use the term to describe puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender-reassignment surgeries.describing people by their biological sex: “Use the term sex assigned at birth instead of biological sex, birth gender, was identified at birth as, born a girl and the like,” the style guide states. “Avoid references to a transgender person being born a boy or girl, or phrasing like birth gender. Sex assigned at birth is the accurate terminology.” “Since not all people fall under one of two categories for sex or gender — as in the cases of nonbinary and intersex people — avoid references to both, either or opposite sexes or genders,” according to the guide.black people as “Black” people: “hite people’s skin color plays into systemic inequalities and injustices, and we want our journalism to robustly explore those problems. But capitalizing the term white, as is done by white supremacists, risks subtly conveying legitimacy to such beliefs.”the use of the word “riot”: According to the style guide, “Focusing on rioting and property destruction rather than underlying grievance has been used in the past to stigmatize broad swaths of people protesting against lynching or police brutality or for racial justice, going back at least to the urban uprisings of the 1960s in the U.S.”the word “Hispanic”: “Hispanic refers to a person from — or whose ancestors were from — a Spanish-speaking land or culture.use of “illegal immigrant”: The AP says, “Use illegal only to refer to an action, not a person: illegal immigration, but not illegal immigrant.” Acceptable “variations include living in or entering a country illegally or without legal permission. For people: immigrants lacking permanent legal status.”the term “anchor babies”: The guide claims it is “a pejorative term in the U.S. for children who are born to noncitizen parents wanting to take advantage of birthright citizenship.”the phrases “catch and release” and “chain migration”: The guide says, “Chain migration” is “vague and may imply unfettered immigration,” while “catch and release” is a “misleading and dehumanizing term.” Wendell Husebo is a political reporter with Breitbart News and a former RNC War Room Analyst.
