One simple vow that ought to be standard in every newsroom:
the term “alt-right” is banned. From now on, news organizations should identify
Steve Bannon, chief strategist in the nascent Trump administration, and his
merry band of haters as what they are: racists.
There is no "alt-right." There are racists, as she points out. There are right wing extremists. A little wordy, but it gets the job done. Or go old school and call them fascists, nihilists or what have you. But, there is no "alt-right."
Words matter.
