[They] have been manipulating the language and our society through the AP Stylebook as long as I can remember. Illegal aliens, for example, used to be referred to in print and broadcast news as 'illegal aliens'. The AP Stylebook changed that to 'undocumented immigrants'. Throughout my life I've witnessed an agenda being implemented through this (and other) methods:
"More often than not, style writers have been more interested in censoring conservative words while promoting language that liberals tend to favor. That's been especially true of the AP Stylebook published by The Associated Press."
"The stylebook also instructs writers to use confusing language about guns in order to create a negative impression about them. Semi-automatic rifles that have add-on parts intended to increase shooting accuracy are to be called "assault weapons," despite the fact the term has referred to fully automatic weapons used by the military for years. The latter are now referred to as "assault rifles," and the two are often conflated. Adding even more to the confusion, the phrase "military style" is recommended to describe assault weapons."
