Gives me a little extra respect for AP than before. Don’t comply with fascists. Make them show just how incredibly sensitive and ridiculous they are.
More respect for the AP? Them and Reuters are the two defacto news orgs that 95% of other news get their articles from lmfao.
I love AP, too. Even Reuters can get a little eyebrow-raising sometimes, but I find AP pretty consistently solid. They’re straight-up targeting the actual, real-deal journalists. ProPublica’s likely to be fucked with, too.
Oh, for sure. I’ve noticed a lot of other news sites simply citing them or republishing their content. To clarify, I didn’t mean what I said in any kind of “I didn’t respect them much before” kind of way. I heavily respect them, as well as ProPublica, like another person mentioned earlier. I just hold even more respect from them after this.
But I was assured by all the vocal defenders of that stupid bias bot that fiiiiiinally went away (payments must have dried up) that the AP and Reuters are left-wing rags.

Also, don’t accept or repeat their narratives.
But I thought dead naming was cool? Now you want to use preferred names.
So Trump is offended that the AP deadnamed his gulf? Imagine that…
Not even deadnamed. The “name change” only impacts like a specific section of it, not the whole thing.
Child Throws Temper Tantrum Because He Didn’t Get His Way
FTFY.
I too, am not allowed into the Oval Office.
We should make our own Oval Office with blackjack and hookers!
Wait…the official one probably has those too. Blackjack, hookers, AND the Gulf of Mexico!
I wouldn’t want to belong in a place that accepts people like me.
Better that I’m not allowed in it, I think.
Blocking the press is how the Trump admin can they make this absurd distraction a much bigger deal with no repercussions. The power of names is much diminished in these times. We need a better name vibe. call it Gulf of Slow The Fuck Down
Gulf of Punch Nazis
So dumb. What a sniveling child.
Classic fashy behavior.
toss another lawsuit on the fire in 4… 3… 2… 1…
Any press still allowed in is just bootlicking government mouthpieces anyway.
I know of at least one US government web page that still references “Gulf of Mexico”, but I don’t want to link it, because I’m very curious to see how long it can fly under the radar. I have a thing set up that checks the page regularly and will alert me whenever it changes.
Is there a way to set up archive.org or something like that to save regular snapshots without risking drawing more attention to it?

Setup a script to use wget to grab a copy of the page every six hours or so?
one is an international body of water, the other is wholly contained within the borders of the u.s. that’s why they went that route.
Side note: everyone called it Denali before Obama renamed it anyway, and everyone is doing to continue to call it Denali
So fragile
Special operation
A special golf operation… there’s no reason americans should have to think of mexico when playing golf
This is a pretty open and shut first amendment violation, no?
Can’t see why. The government isn’t telling them what they can’t say, only barring them from listening to the administration first hand.
But no worries! The blatant 1st violations will be along soon enough. The notion of free speech is too sacred to us Americans to trash right up from, takes some time.
It’s not a free speech issue it’s a free press issue:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The press is called out separately on purpose.
Of course, actually it states congress, but the supreme Court has ruled that it applies to all members of the government, and so thanks to common law, it would apply here.
They are effectively telling them what they can and cannot say by punishing them for not saying the thing the admin wants them to say.
I believe it could cause a chilling effect … By actually icing them down.
And what if it is?, you can just add it to the list I guess, it chances nothing
Repubs were always the cuckflake bitches.
