What's Driving Media Becoming Woke? Money.

So there's a narrative out there that because Donald Trump was such a polarizing figure, which I don't think anyone disagrees with, that he really changed the media landscape.

I'm often saying that the left thinks everyone on the right is racist, and the right thinks everyone on the left has contempt for them.

Ungar-Sargon: Well, first of all, I think that the woke revolution is very clearly, you can draw the line, it's basically academic malarkey, it comes right out of Ivy League, critical race theory programs, and English departments.

Ungar-Sargon: That's so interesting because I think-and I'm curious what you think about this-to me, it seems like the left and the liberals have this wishful thinking about what the divide in the GOP is about.

I think we need to make that clear, but I also think that conservatives, and I think many are, but I think they need to continue wrestling with certain things about, if you've had a broken down family and we're talking multiple generations, and we know that family structure affects education, it affects material wealth, it affects opportunity.

So how do you think the media could cover the working class better? And do you think the reason there's not interest is just there's not a financial incentive, or do you think there's other factors at work?Ungar-Sargon: I think polarization is an elite phenomenon that is making elites very rich.

Trinko: No, it's funny, because actually you got me thinking that the other point I would make that I think Trump helped make conservatives recognize more is I would say the decline of religiosity and values has led to, and I'm not an expert in this area, and it certainly, there were obviously horrible corporate owners throughout history, including the U.S., but I do think that there's less of an understanding now, when you hear about some of these things, what do you owe to people on an ethical scale?
