The Associated Press story announcing the hiring of a new AP executive editor gives plenty of reasons for readers not to trust the once-venerable news wire.

The AP some years ago devolved from an objective news source into just another outlet for left-leaning propaganda. Even its famous AP Stylebook, long in use in most newsrooms as the supreme arbiter of proper journalistic diction, has gone disgustingly woke, meaning left-wing. For example, it now says the words “black” and “indigenous” should be capitalized when referring to race or ethnicity, but that “white” should remain lowercase. And AP says we can’t use “thug” because it supposedly has racial connotations, and it promotes the use of the non-word “ableism” to describe negative attitudes against the disabled. And so on.
