If to be ‘woke’ is to be anti-racist, then by branding themselves an ‘anti-woke’ TV channel, GB News seem to be making their intentions quite clear... #DontFundGBNews theguardian.com/media/2021/jun…
Great explainer here on the origins of the word "woke": antiracismdaily.com/archives/learn…
"Suddenly, the word woke went from protecting marginalized folk to attacking them for standing up for their rights" antiracismdaily.com/archives/learn…

Our friends @slpng_giants_fr are facing legal threats from two notoriously toxic news outlets following the massive success of their campaign to defund hateful media in France.

#StopFundingHate has had a *lot* of requests to help identify any companies advertising on GB News. We have a brilliant team of research volunteers ready to go, and will be sharing advertiser info under the #DontFundGBNews hashtag when the channel launches standard.co.uk/insider/gb-new…
Concerns over the threat of "Fox News style" media standards being imposed in Britain have been exacerbated by reports of a plan to install ex-Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre as chair of Ofcom: theguardian.com/media/2021/jan…

Did you know that the "anti-woke" media narrative is regularly promoted by the Russian Government's notorious international propaganda channel RT? It's perhaps worth reflecting on why they might be so keen to push this...
More examples of the Russian Government's international channel RT pushing the "anti woke" narrative:
The Russian Government's anti "woke" TV channel RT would like you to know that Christmas is under threat from the "warriors of woke on their identity crusade"...
