In April of 2013, bowing to pro-illegal immigrant activists, the Associated Press announced that it would ban the use of “illegal immigrant” in its reporting. But despite the attempt to change the media culture, the term persists—sometimes even in Associated Press articles.

Four years ago a deranged man shot into a crowd of people in Tucson, Arizona. Within hours the leading voices of the Left identified the real culprit. It wasn’t the mentally troubled man who pulled the trigger: It was Sarah Palin and the “climate of hate” created by the Tea Party.
