AP reports that Republicans wrongly refer to Dem-led protests disrupting gov't as 'insurrections'

The Associated Press does so much heavy lifting on behalf of the Democrats that they’re risking a “journalism” hernia. The AP’s latest water-carrying effort has been spotted and the Democrats will award them some social credit points for this one:

The Associated Press is little more than a branch office of the DNC.

Can we get a Community Note up in here?

The AP tried to explain why it’s “D”ifferent when the Democrats do it:

It’s the third time in the last five weeks — and one of at least four times this year — that Republicans have attempted to compare disruptive but nonviolent protests at state capitols to insurrections.

The tactic follows a pattern set over the past two years when the term has been misused to describe public demonstrations and even the 2020 election that put Democrat Joe Biden in the White House. It’s a move experts say dismisses legitimate speech and downplays the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump. Shortly after, the U.S. House voted to impeach him for “incitement of insurrection.”

Republicans’ use of the term insurrection in these cases isn’t just wrong, it’s also strategic, said Yotam Ophir, a University at Buffalo communications professor who focuses on misinformation. Repeating a loaded term over and over makes it lose its meaning and power, he said.

“Disruptive but non-violent” — That’s cute.

The Democrats don’t like it when Republicans play their own game, but at least the Dems have the AP to help with the spin.
