Out with the oldspeak. In with President Trump’s newspeak — or else.
Out with the oldspeak. In with President Trump’s newspeak — or else. That’s the apparent message as the Trump White House tries to punish a preeminent news outlet for its editorial decision-making. On Tuesday the White House broke with decades of precedent and blocked Associated Press reporters from attending two of President Trump’s media availabilities. The AP said it was blocked because it hasn’t changed its stylebook entry for Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America.” The newswire’s executive editor, Julie Pace, immediately condemned the action. And in a followup letter on Wednesday to White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, she signaled a likely legal challenge. The actions “were plainly intended to punish the AP for the content of its speech,” Pace wrote, adding that “the AP is prepared to vigorously defend its constitutional rights and protest the infringement on the public’s right to independent news coverage of their government and elected officials.” At Wednesday afternoon’s briefing, press secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested the ban may remain in place.
The Associated Press said the White House barred its reporter from Tuesday’s Oval Office executive order signing because of the AP style guidance on using the name Gulf of Mexico versus Gulf of America.
