Scoop: Why Trump is targeting AP
Briefly

Trump's criticism of the Associated Press (AP) highlights a rift in perceived media bias amidst his campaign to undermine legacy media. He argues that the AP Stylebook promotes a liberal bias in language, affecting narratives on gender, race, and immigration. AP rejects these claims, reiterating its commitment to neutrality and factual journalism, asserting its role is to provide guidance rather than push an agenda. The tensions are emblematic of broader distrust in the media and its evolving relationship with political figures, especially in the current polarized climate.
AP journalism isn't factual and nonpartisan, this wouldn't be the case.
AP provides guidance on issues brought to us by members and customers, and it is up to them what they choose to use.
This isn't just about the Gulf of America; this is about AP weaponizing language through their stylebook.
Trump is amplifying Republican criticisms that the AP Stylebook shapes political dialogue by favoring liberal words.
