US states haven't been abbreviated like that since 1963. A news site should be a few decades more up-to-date. It's a little subconscious thing they do to appeal

US states haven't been abbreviated like that since 1963. A news site should be a few decades more up-to-date. It's a little subconscious thing they do to appeal to older right-wing people, which sets my propaganda alarms off.
