    Good examples and fact checking.
    I just found a few issues with your first example. Make sure that you spell everything correctly (grammatical) when you're pointing out errors and make sure the errors you point out are the correct ones to point out.
    In the sentence you used, the oxford comma isn't missing, that can be a choice of the author. AP style doesn't give a definite 'don't use this!' or 'do this every time!' about the oxford comma.

This then led to CNN taking this issue to the federal court in attempts to get Jim Acosta’s hard pass returned. Jim Acosta’s...

Morals

Morals Don’t be deceitful:             I believe it is important to be transparent. It is difficult to say you don’t believe in lying as it has often been argued that every single person lies. This is different than lying. This is about not being misleading or insincere. I find this moral to be most useful when involving work. For example, if I were to be a writer, due to my morals I would not give a great review to a product, restaurant, etc. that I actually dislike or have not even tried. I think it is really hard to find genuine opinions these days for underlying reasons, and I think it is wrong to deceit people.              Be kind, especially to strangers:             Being kind is a simple yet important code in my morals. It sounds very simple, but it can be difficult once you’ve been ha...
