Because french fries are a real thing that you can buy and eat. If the cost goes up, it hurts.

The Jan. 6th committee is a ridiculous show trial that has wasted tens of thousands of dollars, uncovered no compelling evidence of a vast "right wing" conspiracy, and will convince no one to change their mind about the events of that day or who won the election. It's the definition of the Democratic party's spite and hatred for Trump.

Professional wrestling can also be compelling, doesn't make it real.

It's also the least-woke thing left on American TV.

How is encouraging alpha male behavior woke?

And before you ask, no one gives a shit about Nyla Rose or Sonny Kiss. No one buys their stuff. No one makes signs for them.

  1. Women's wrestling has been a thing since Mildred Burke. Mojeek her.

  2. Is this about Anthony Bowens? He didn't become a tag champion because he's gay. He became a tag champion because he and Max Caster earned it. No one in that company gets a job solely BECAUSE they're gay.

  3. CM Punk will never wrestle again. Ever. He showed his true colors after AEW All Out 2022, punching Trump voters and throwing a chair at them. Now the AEW locker room leader is Chris Jericho, who is not only a Trump voter, but a Trump DONOR. Thousands of dollars.

  4. You sound like CM Punk. "Fucking dumb fuck like Hangman Adam Page," etc.

I think the women's wrestling thing he's referring to is that it's given disproportionate 'prestige' for the true popularity of it (I can't say whether that's true).
It may, by extension, mean some talents get pushed more or higher despite fan interest, just because "look at our fabulous alphabet rainbow representation!!!!!" That's more of a theory.
Other possible issues that could be interpreted as 'woke' would probably include 'stories/characters/matches they could do in the past that they can't now.'

That's reasonable. But again, AEW has only one women's match per two-hour show, and Reddit claims that's too low.

In AEW, people don't get pushed unless they get popular. Just look what happened with the Nightmare Collective in the company's first few months--the fans revolted so hard that they just dropped the angle dead, mid-story, instead of ramming it down our throats like WWE did with Katie Vick.

  1. "Now they main event?" Since when? On AEW, they get one match per two-hour show. One match in two hours. And in three years on the air, over 150 episodes, it's been the main event maybe twice--and one of those was regarded as a fantastic match, namely Thunder Rosa vs. Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. The latter uses clips from it in her entrance video to this day.

  2. Yep, you don't watch the product. If you did, you'd know that if it was a priority, they'd be getting a lot more TV time--which they're not, because it drives viewers away, and they know it. That's why Sonny Kiss was once off television for twenty-three months in a row. No one cares. And his contract's expiring soon as well.

  3. Again: CM Punk is jee oh enn ee. GONE. He destroyed his OWN career, and tried to physically take down a pair of Trump voters with him--it took the aforementioned Trump DONOR, the very non-woke Chris Jericho, to take control of the situation. OSW Review has a video coming soon that will spell it all out for you, no pun intended. If you're going to defame the least-woke form of entertainment left on this planet because of one toxic childish Punk, then you'll never be able to enjoy anything ever.

  4. Admission noted.

Tony Khan (spell it right) said everyone will get an opportunity. Whether they get POPULAR and thus CONTINUE to get TV time is another matter entirely. See Sonny Kiss.

"There is also a trans wrestler and a non-binary wrestler" that, again, NO ONE cares about. No one brings signs. No one buys their merch. No one chants their names. And since they signed deals in 2019, when AEW's TV show was first starting, at least one of them will be gone soon.

Tell me you don't watch the show without telling me you don't watch the show.

That's why they used French fries instead of groceries. They want to make it seem petty

If it were just the cost of fries they might have a point. But since it's the cost of meat, milk, eggs, vegetables, gasoline and every other staple item, this does nothing more than evidence their contempt for the American people.

Take out the editorialized "compelling" opinion, and this is an undoubtedly true headline.

Given the increasingly strident warnings from committee members about the danger that Trump-backed candidates pose to democracy, it’s hard not to see Thursday’s January 6 hearing as an intervention in the midterms. And since Trump is already a hot favorite for the GOP’s 2024 presidential nomination, warnings of committee members from both parties that he must never hold office again are by definition highly political.

Huh, it's surprising to see CNN be even remotely objective.

They should also note that the committee members are all retiring or lost their primaries to Trump-backed candidates.

I think that new CEO is really trying to make the brand less toxic. He’s got a long road ahead.

I mean, the panel could have named itself the "never Trump" panel, but that's probably a little bit too much honesty for politics...

I love how the bias is dripping off the headline. This reminds me of reporters who were shocked at how few voters cared about COVID during 2020 election

Or in less CNN words:

"Humans care more about providing food for their families, than about a kangaroo court procedural with bad writing."

Which when you write it that way, it sounds kind of super obvious, but CNN is so evil they needed to word it in as malicious a way as possible.

"Compelling evidence." What are we supposed to be compelled to do upon seeing it? Barf? Go insane? Conclude that this is a show trial intended to keep Trump out of office?

Makes sense considering how much the latter increases your blood pressure.
