AP Edits Fresno Killer to Erase Islam Reference, Implicate God
The Associated Press may want to reconsider the publication of their stylebook if they’re choosing to fake translate words in order to score political points. Which is what they just did on a huge story, where the words matter a great deal.
For comparison, here is how a local ABC affiliate reported on the story:
A gunman who walked through Fresno randomly shooting and killing three men screamed “Allahu Akbar” while being taken into custody, according to authorities.
Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said 39-year-old Kori Ali Muhammad first opened fire on a passenger inside a PG&E truck in the 300 block of North Van Ness Boulevard at about 10:45 a.m.
Now, look at how the Associated Press manipulated tweeted it:
Fresno police say suspect in triple slaying told them he hates white people, shouted "God is great" before killings.
