I just bookmarked.
Over the weekend, I saw my son. He was holding a copy of 1984 and wondered if he should read it.
I said, Absolutely! This is one of the most important books of the century when it was written.
I guess we’re in the 21st? Time flies...
“Tempus fugit?” I hope that’s right.
I hate the book 1984
Its become the playbook of the left unfortunately
Unrest to replace riot may not be quite that bad.
The next revision will be Love-In or Justice Orgy suppose.
The AP Stylebook is constantly being amended for ‘woke’ propaganda purposes. It’s best for regular people to actively do the opposite of what it ‘suggests’ at this point.
We need to shame any MSM that adheres to the AP style book. Who says they are any judge as to how to change the language!
The conceit that the AP is not "a conspiracy against the public” is a joke.People of the same trade [e.g., journalism] seldom meet together [in physical or virtual meetings], even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.- Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations (1776)
But Chris Wallace wants all opposition to the RIOTERS labeled “white supremacists” with the intent that the next step is to declare them “terrorist groups”, so there is nobody to fight back against the Fascist anti-Americans.
Apparently, stigmatizing property destruction would be bad, according to the AP Press Stylebook.
For “treason” the AP Stylebook specifies substituting the term, “Demonicrat loyalism.”
According to the ideology that Biden embraces, every White person is a problem, and should be punished.
bkmk
Institutionalizing left-wing propaganda.
New definition for AP: A nest of 50 IQ Nazis.
I’m sure “riot” will be eliminated in the next version of the Newspeak Dictionary.
even these 13 RIOTS (should be more) in just one town up to mid-August?
21 Aug: KATU: Portland protests: 13 events declared riots in more than 80 days, police say
Portland Police defined the difference between an civil disturbance and riot in their timeline released on Thursday. A civil disturbance is an unlawful assembly that constitutes a clear and present danger of riot, disorder, interference with traffic upon the public streets or when another immediate threat to public safety, peace or order appears.
A riot is when six or more persons engage in tumultuous and violent conduct and thereby intentionally or recklessly creating a grave risk of causing public alarm, excluding persons who are engaged in passive resistance.
Since then, a riot has been declared by Portland Police at least 13 times, projectiles have been thrown at officers during at least 55 nights of protests, fires were set during at least 40 nights of protests, and fireworks have been used during at least 29 nights of protests...
Since August 1, Portland Police have declared riots at the Portland Police Association Building, East Precinct, Penumbra Kelly Building, the Justice Center, the ICE Building in South Portland, and the Multnomah County Building.

A riot by any other name would smell as acrid.
So...’riot’ is inapplicable because the participants are engaged in intentional and organized destructive violence?
I thought that particular organ housed ovaries. I was unaware it could double as a brain.
Liberals in power literally redefined good words to always apply to them.
