The White House recently demanded that the Associated Press change its style guide to align with President Trump's rebranding of the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. When the AP declined to comply, access to a significant event featuring Elon Musk was restricted. The AP's leadership defended its independence, arguing that it's alarming for the Trump administration to penalize them for their editorial decisions. Some critics argue that the AP's claim of impartiality is misleading, pointing out past instances suggesting a partisan bias in their reporting.

It is alarming that the Trump administration would punish AP for its independent journalism.
The AP is neither independent nor nonpartisan, resembling left-wing infotainment companies more than a neutral wire service.
The AP's actual objection is to serving the wrong partisan ends.
