While working for the CBC, Henley found that pushing back against a “woke” news agenda fell on deaf ears. Why has the liberal press adopted a “woke” ideology that’s largely unpopular with the public? Increasingly, journalists come from wealthy backgrounds and are educated at elite schools like Harvard (above), meaning they often miss issues that concern ordinary folks, Henley writes. The consequences of speaking out against “woke” ideology are significant. In order for the media to improve, journalists need to incorporate more views and more dissenting voices, and question everything, Henley writes.
