The ridiculous AP stylebook is now banning the word “the” before group labels since it’s “dehumanizing.”
AP stylebook bans are dehumanizing. Our First Amendment means nothing to these idiots.
These people treat us like trained seals. They come up with something stupid, and if we go along with it, they’ll get even more ridiculous.
Robby Starbuck tweeted some good advice: “the” @APStylebook is ridiculous and entirely captured by Marxist ideologues. I recommend not listening to a darn thing they ever say or recommend. P.S. I think there are some “people with mental illnesses” at the AP.
Rita Panahi wondered, “Are you drunk?”
Banning a word is bad enough, but now they’re going after articles now. Will “a” be next?

The AP has lost what little of its mind it may have had.
If you can’t grow food or build a shelter, you try to control words.
What a sad commentary o the USA. Such foolishness!!! Yet if we are not aware of the attacks on every part of our culture, the idiots will overwhelm us and eventually destroy us. Recognize this: these types of things are designed to divide people. There are those who will be ‘politically correct’ and the stupid moron, stick in the muds… Read more »
