But their commentaries are pitifully hollow. For instance&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Nikki Haley:<\/strong> Woke is a virus more dangerous than any pandemic.<br \/>\n[Really?

Most notable among them is the Republican Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. That&#8217;s quite an oversight for a party that is so committed to anti-wokism that they created the first ever House Anti-Woke Caucus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56036\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GOP Creates an \u2018Anti-Woke\u2019 Caucus to Take on the \u2018Greatest Domestic Threat to America Today\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before they continue on their anti-woke crusade, they might want to take a look at the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/media.foxcorporation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/prod\/2022\/08\/24150057\/FOX-2022-Corporate-Social-Responsibiliy-Report-August-24-2022.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Corporate Responsibility Report<\/a><\/strong> that boasts that the company is <em>&#8220;committed to diversity from the very top.

Have the GOP Woke Police heard about this? How can any Republican appear on Fox News under these conditions?

Such as&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We have taken specific action as part of our strategy to mitigate environmental risks, including those related to climate change.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;FOX is committed to accuracy and editorial independence: Our news organizations carefully vet sources and check facts, and we maintain strict separation between revenue sources and our news and opinion content.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s especially laughable considering what was recently disclosed in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=48869\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">billion dollar defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox News<\/a><\/strong> that revealed the extent of the brazen lies told by Fox&#8217;s executives and hosts regarding their phony allegations of election fraud on behalf of Trump and his <em>&#8220;Big Lie&#8221;<\/em> the election was <em>&#8220;rigged and stolen&#8221;<\/em> from him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56527\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IT\u2019S A CULT: Most Fox News Viewers Are Still Loyal After Dominion Lawsuit Discloses Their Lies<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, the war against woke isn&#8217;t even an effective political strategy. A <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2023\/03\/08\/gop-war-woke-most-americans-see-term-positive-ipsos-poll\/11417394002\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recent poll by USA Today\/Ipsos<\/a><\/strong> found that a majority of Americans have a positive impression of the term. According to the poll&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Fifty-six percent of those surveyed say the term means &#8216;to be informed, educated on, and aware of social injustices.&#8217; That includes not only three-fourths of Democrats but also more than a third of Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Overall, 39% say instead that the word reflects what has become the GOP political definition, &#8216;to be overly politically correct and police others&#8217; words.&#8217; That&#8217;s the view of 56% of Republicans.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The only reason that Republicans latched onto the term in the first place was that it originated in the Black community as a call to be conscious of oppression and discrimination, and to work to overcome the inequities of society. So naturally right-wingers sought to appropriate it and attempt to turn it into a pejorative. It is as unambiguously racist as the right&#8217;s dishonest efforts to brand Critical Race Theory (CRT) as advocating hatred of White people, when it&#8217;s simply a fact-based educational program about the systemic racism in American institutions.<\/p>\n<p>None of that, however, has deterred Republicans from pushing their woke narrative. And we can expect them to continue to do so despite its ineffectiveness as a political message. Likewise, we can expect them to ignore the hypocrisy of chastising liberals for their woke-ocity, while ignoring the very same traits at Fox News and other right-leaning entities. Because all that they really have are their lies, hypocrisy, and associated &#8211; although mostly feigned &#8211; outrage. It&#8217;s what they do.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/newsie.social\/@NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mastodon<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The preeminent buzzword of 2023 is indisputably &#8220;Woke.&#8221; The Republican Party has adopted it as the braindead alternative for anything that they are opposed to.
