Didn’t they? Follow up with, with confirming sources is typical practice.

Possibly a number of words. “Transgender” does not mean one particular thing. It’s a shotgun term used to describe a lot of conditions; some of which have no relationship to some others.
And apparently the “ban” (according to the article) is in financial reporting. And why, for example, are the articles complaining about removal of a segment advising homosexual and “transgender” couples about how to adopt children? Why is removal of that portion objectionable?

There is no evidence in the article that they did.

Just because you can’t understand the meaning of the term doesn’t mean the term doesn’t have meaning.
Did you read the link to The Intercept article I posted? There’s a pretty liberal author who spells out how fake much of the CNN reporting is.

Because it’s COMMON during different administrations.
The Obama administration didn’t want anyone using the term “radical islamic terrorism”…but the media didn’t breathlessly report that because they agree with the Obama agenda.
Meanwhile everything the Trump administration does is conflated to apocalyptic terms.

How did you find out about that the Obama administration did not want anyone using the term “radical Islamic terrorist”?

This ban thing reeks of 1984ism

What agencies were ordered not to use that term?

Then I will give my opinion only. I think no one except Trump and his most ignorant and blind of supporters believe the term has any meaning, as he applies it to mainstream media exclusively when it is negative to him and ignores it any other time. Even those ignorant of what begging the question means can understand the lack of substance behind the term.pnewton:

I’ve given you the substance behind the term, you just fail to see it.
I’ve even given you a link to the substance, written by a pretty liberal guy…not exactly a “most ignorant and blind” Trump supporter.
I’ll give it to you again, just in case you want to educate yourself on it.

I am not doubting there is a lot of crummy journalism out there. However, these debacles make the news because CNN, FOX, etc. are not fake. That is not what the word “fake” even means. SNL is fake news, for example. The others try to make real news. Some, like FOX and MSNBC may overly editorialize, but that again is not fake. Maybe President Trumps vocabulary is limited and it is the closest word he knows to “errant” or “fallible.” Or maybe he is just trying the old propaganda ploy of manipulating language for the weak-minded. What a shame that this might actually work with our politicians working with the budget, at least those who shy away from such things as science and evidence.
Maybe all politicians should have to demonstrate say, and eighth grade level of vocabulary.

All HHS agencies, but it only applies to budget request, which is limited, but no less weird.Boatswain2PA:

And yes, I accused Obama of the same type of manipulation when he tried to limit the term radical Islamic terrorism.

It’s one thing to get things wrong…nobody is perfect.
But when you get things wrong in ONLY one direction, EVERY TIME…then something’s going on.
If you’re a cashier and you are occasionally wrong in handling change, sometimes you will have a little extra, sometimes you will be a little short in your drawer. But if at the end of EVERY WEEK you have lost HUNDREDS of dollars from your drawer, then you’re a thief.
The media is wrong in ONE direction, EVERY TIME. EVERY time they are wrong it is because they have breathlessly reported something about Trump (et al) that simply wasn’t true. They never come out with some ridiculous report that Trump cured cancer or something, it’s ALWAYS that they now have the smoking gun and Trump is going to be impeached and imprisoned.
That’s why they are fake. You can change the term “fake” to “so incredibly biased that nobody should believe anything they say about President Trump” if you want, but “fake news” is shorter.
Here’s another good read on the topic.

All HHS agencies, and only applies to budget requests…because it was at a meeting between Trump administration and the senior HHS staff to discuss future budget requests.
Nothing weird about it at all, happens every year when the administration sends down their strategic goals.
