Joy Reid added,
Don't use the term. AP style says dump it. Use precise language: KKK, neo-Nazi, etc
The AP guide applies to its writing to avoid legitimizing it stories. Joy is using it to specifically de-legitimize it in a tweet. Different
Incorrect. AP Style has been fulcrum of all journalism for decades. AP issued directive on 'alt-right' this wk. It is a rebranding word
But Joy isn't using it to describe their brand. She's using it much as you are now, to call out its context as *they* use it.
She's not saying "the alt right dis a thing tuesday." She's saying "this thing the call 'alt right' is actually garbage trash."
If you never address the language *they* use for themselves, they can more easily sidestep it. So you have to use it in some contexts.
It is a propaganda word and should be avoided or described as such. Think Spencer coined it. Breitbart ran with it. Draws in unsuspecting
It's a propaganda word when used *uncritically.* Joy is *criticizing* it.
If she is criticizing term, fine. That is not how the original tweet read.
