The 57th edition of AP Stylebook (2024-2026) is out.
Much of the guide consists of lectures on progressive values and why they are supposedly correct, as a justification for forcing them into the language. For example, when instructing journalists not to use the word “woke,” it states, “Some people and groups, especially conservatives, now use it in a derogatory sense implying what they see as overreactions.”
A lengthy section titled “Inclusive Storytelling” goes on and on about how journalists must seek quotes from diverse, underrepresented people. It provides examples, such as “[d]escribing the unique obstacles faced by gay people who came out later in life” and “[e]xplaining what has led women of color to become a growing force…” It instructs journalists to seek out “a Black female researcher focusing on vaccination rates among children, or a Latino teacher on strike in Chicago, or a gay couple struggling to make ends meet during the pandemic.” Another section on “Unconscious/Implicit Bias” tells journalists to “check yourself.”[…]
The words “male” and “female” are now restricted: “New guidance to avoid using male and female as modifiers that could convey assumptions about gender roles, such as male nurse, male nanny, female bodybuilder.” Journalists must use “search” instead of “manhunt.” Since “Frosty the Snowman” is a character’s name, the guide helpfully suggests referring to it as “Frosty.” Journalists can no longer refer to women as “blondes” or “brunettes,” or use the words “manhole,” “mankind,” “manmade,” “gentleman,” “lady,” “mistress,” “hostess,” or “heroine.”
No subsidies to media! Let ’em live or die based on paying audiences!
It seems the ‘man on the street’ interviews go all out woke many times. Toronto man is
likely to be a refugee from Ghana.
This is one of the most important reasons why Islamic colonizers vote left. They know that they are civilizational destroyers and that helps Islam spread. When confidently dominant they will dispose of those still infected.
“It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”

Re: Journalists. As I tell my Grandchildren “Back in the olden days ” Pre. year 2000 a CBC journalist wanted a farmer’s opinion on a recent election in Alberta. She went to an Auction and started down a line of farmers asking each one what they thought of the election (Conservatives won by a landslide) She went down the row asking one question “What did you think of the election? ” the first 9 thought it was a great result. The 10th a longtime Liberal thought it was horrible for many reasons. Guess which interview was shown as an Alberta Farmers view. Since that experience I have never trusted journalists interviewing people on the street.
I sincerely pray that some MotherCorpse idiot approaches me on the street for an interview some day… 😉
I remember the CBC idiot Barbara Frum who had a Liberal schtick for years about 30-40 years ago. She always interviewed two sides to every story. She would interview a Liberal PhD and a Conservative knuckle dragging moron. Never the other way around. Also her son David is a retard.
Or like Reuters, throw in your own commentary. Write Op Eds that masquerade as news.
E.g. “Donald Trump, the worst president ever, announced…” Yes, this was pretty much in any thing Reuters provided on its wire.
Using this garbage was one of the reasons I cancelled my Calgary Sun subscription.
