ORWELLIAN NEWS IS UPON US

Winchester, VA – CNS News is reporting that the Associated Press has released its latest “Stylebook,” which is a terminology guide for journalists. Here are some highlights:

• “Abortionist” is to be avoided, because it “connotes a person who performs clandestine abortions
• Those who fight for unborn rights are not “pro-life” but are “anti-abortion.” Those who fight to kill unborn babies are not “pro-abortion” or “pro-choice,” but are “pro-abortion rights.”
• “Terrorist” and “Islamist” are out; “militant,” “lone wolves,” and “attackers” are in.
• “Migrant” and “refugee” are verboten, but “people struggling to enter Europe” is admissible
• And whatever you do, don’t use the terms, “illegal immigrant” and “undocumented.”
• “Ze” who controls the language, controls the culture.
