Have you ever seen the Associated Press style book? It won't let journalists use the word "pro-life" when refering to pro-lifers. They must use "anti-abortion." Fair enough. But then will they call the other side "pro-abortion"? Not on your life. The AP stylebook insists reporters use "pro-choice." And they must always refer to abortion as "abortion rights." If a reporter veers from the code book, copy editors must correct it to the AP Style.

Yes, they've written the required bias right into their stylebook. And the MSM continues to wonder why they lose readers and viewers.
