In the days of Cronkite, the news reporters would report the news without comment.
Commentaries were clearly labeled.
Today, the commentary is mixed in with the news.

As a high school teacher, “kids these days” don’t know how to type correctly, and just chicken peck on the keyboard.
So I’m a short amount of time I assume movies will start showing hackers pecking at the keyboard also.
Or they’ll just type on their phones.

What's your collateral? You built a pretty good pitching arm, I suggest you try and make it in baseball.

Reply to comment by JadeMarco in When everyone is woke, the ones who are actually woke are the ones who aren't woke. by raydditor
Woke means you're aware of and care about social issues that affect people negatively, such as trans people being a heavily marginalised community under attack on a near constant basis.
Now, basic human compassion would tell you to care about an issue like that, but bigots would tell you you're woke for caring about an issue like that.
So which is it? Because it seems like they ARE the same thing, and also, that's an anecdote.

My cousin was caught peeing in the pool at camp-- they called my aunt in to discuss it and she was like, "hey, lot's of kids pee in the pool, it isn't a big deal!"
The camp director said, "Sure, I understand that, but most of them don't do it from the diving board."

I only watch NOS, which is the national Dutch broadcasting service. They're as unbiased and impartial as you could hope for.

I have never heard the term used in that context. Maybe it's different where you live but where I'm from that description does not fit.
