The Left-Wing Bias of the 'Neutral' AP Stylebook
July 10, 2017 UPDATE: Changes for 2017 in the AP Stylebook include newly accepted use of the word “they” to describe a single person who does not want to be identified as male or female. This has always been considered grammatically incorrect since “they” is a plural pronoun.
See the writer’s earlier story about the bias of The New York Times’ style manual.
A stylebook tells journalists practical things like what to capitalize and how to identify people. They need that, right? But it also tells journalists what words to use and what words not to use. They need that too, because some words are more neutral than others.
There’s where we find the problem with the AP Stylebook, from the Associated Press. It aims at neutrality but requires liberalism. It does this by censoring some words and phrases conservatives would prefer while requiring left-leaning replacements.

The Lies We Believe about God: Knowing God for Who He Really Is
Without even realizing it, many people believe lies about God, such as:
“God’s love must be earned.”
“God has lost control of everything.”
“God gives us everything we want in life.”
In The Lies We Believe about God, psychologist Chris Thurman explores the influences that affect everyone’s view of God, the cost of not knowing God for who He really is, and how knowing God more intimately can bring greater meaning and joy to life.
This engaging, biblically rooted book calls readers to see the truth of who God is—truth that can set them free to enjoy a deeper relationship with Him.

Praying for Donald Trump
This is the moment evangelical leaders laid their hands on Donald Trump's back as they prayed over him in the Oval Office.
Evangelical pastor Rodney Howard-Browne led a prayer circle alongside his wife Adonica in the White House and then shared the image on Facebook.
President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence can be seen closing their eyes and bowing their heads in the solemn moment.
The group were invited to pray with Trump during a meeting with members of The Office of Public Liaison.
Others pictured included Jack Graham, the pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, and Michele Bachmann, the former Republican congresswoman from Minnesota.
