Quote:New guidance on terrorism that says to describe specific actions that are being perpetrated, and attribute the use of the word terrorism or terrorist to authorities except when talking about historical events widely acknowledged as terrorist actions.
So, what the AP style guide, the most commonly used way to write in news media, says about it is that it is a judgement statement and if the term is used for a contemporary event it must be a statement from an authority on the topic, quoted as such and attributed to them. It is not the role of the journalist to make that call.
I am just telling you what the AP says. I am not the one that should be the target of your ridicule.
