"Using the word 'surge' is a white-supremacist idea"
The Associated Press--the largest "news service" in the country--sets the standards for journalists through its Stylebook. But it's actually a propaganda agency disguised as a wire service, constantly slanting its wire feed to favor open borders, socialism and the Democrat party.
In the latest example, unless you've been off-world you've heard there's "crisis at the southern border" as hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens have been pouring across the border after learning that thanks to the Biden*Harris*Dem policy they'd all get to stay in the U.S.
The figures for illegal crossers were so much higher than before Biden's inauguration that a few papers and TV networks began referring to the situation at the the border as a crisis or surge.
As you probably guessed, open-borders "activists" and anti-American types objected, demanding that the influential AP "urge" media outlets to substitute non-alarming language when writing stories about the surge in illegal entry. The AP agreed, and in March began "urging" news outlets to "avoid imagery conjuring war or natural disaster, which could portray migrants as a negative, harmful influence.
The AP urged outlets to avoid emotive words like onslaught, tidal wave, flood, inundation, surge, invasion, army, march, sneak, and stealth, and instead use bland terms like "entering," "crossing the border," and "increase."
Virtually all major papers, including the WaPo, and websites like Politico, totally agreed with that "urging," changing what you heard and read about the crisis, making the Biden administration's first 100 days in office look much better.
Shortly thereafter, left-wing members of Congress such as New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D.) announced that using the word "surge" is a "white supremacist idea."
