No President of Any Country will change the name of the body of water South of Texas. For 400 years, and 400 more, it will Always be The Gulf of Mexico.
Your article provides a compelling critique of the administration's actions, effectively arguing that barring the AP not only undermines press freedom but also works against the administration's own interests.
Regarding whataboutism, my point wasn't to justify Trump's actions but to demonstrate he's not in an exclusive club. We can all agree that two wrongs are two too many!
oh, i'm not sure. Our mutual friends on the WDC and GEN desks would tell you I am a typo king, always in need of a proofreader. Actually found three bad typos after seeing his note. Thanks, my friend. Great piece today!
As a one-time UPI political reporter, nothing gave me greater satisfaction of beating what we called Rox, based on your Rockefeller Center address back in the day, But my respect for the A&P (old habits die hard!) is well, rock solid.
Thanks. By the end of my time reporting some of my best journalist friends were AP because we understand what we did was different. And important. I remember the name but that's about it.
She loved UPI well after she left NOLA, moving to Arkansas where I had the joy of working with and against her in the statehouse covering Gov Clinton. She taught me how to be a wire reporter. One of the finest journalists and humans I’ll ever know.
That's pretty much what I cn say about every Unipresser I know, especially since I lived through one Chapter 11 and got out of Dodge, I learned in hindsight, about a week before the second. The line was always "worst damn company that hired the best damn people." I apologize to my journalism students today for in effect teaching them wire style writing. But I know it will benefit them down the road.
Happened again Wednesday (Feb. 12), when AP's pool reporter was blocked from entering the Oval Office to cover the president's swearing-in ceremony for Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence.
Of course everyone needs an editor but, with or without edits, this needs to be said over and over. And there's nobody better to make the point on this subject than you, Ron. (Although...the small woman who can only partially be seen to your left in the picture could probably do it, too.)
If they were fair they would accept that the President acted within his authority and adopt the new naming. They don't have to like it and they could publish an editorial criticizing it. This action merely demonstrates their bias against Trump. Is there any wonder that our overlords are losing the respect of their audience?
Thank you AP.

Very comforting to know so many are on the side of truth, and work extra hard to deliver on it

Sir, you need an editor.
I do. I do. What did you spot? I can fix online.
I think he meant length! But I appreciate your long-form and very wise ravings.
Also, Very Wise Ravings would be an awesome name for a rock band.

Man, you guys punched above your weight! Remember by any chance Joan Duffy in NOLA?

Don’t apologize! You’re teaching them the best way to write.

RIP.

Stupid and wrong
A description that fits administration actions far beyond this self-defeating pettiness.
You got that right!!!
It's an international body of water!

God bless, Helen Thomas, a fellow Detroiter. And bless, you Ed, for the note. Hope all is well!

Third from right in blue shirt, black tie and hair almost as lush and well-coiffed as Dee Dee's.
Well-coiffed? Nobody ever called my hair that. But you you!!!
But you *win*!
