“Well, the [original] show was about as woke as you could get for 1974,” says Arngrim. “We dealt with … everything on Little House on the Prairie from drug addiction to racism, to sexism, to spousal abuse. Women’s rights, we absolutely had the episode where the women held out for right to own property … Every possible cutting edge social issue was absolutely discussed … but it was done in such a ‘Little House on the Prairie, what would the Ingalls do’ kind of way, that I think people just didn’t even think of it as being a big deal.”
“Little House was incredibly woke,” Butler notes. “It’s just woke in a very simple, sweet way. It’s not beating you over the head with it, but it’s really woke — and from that, I’m going to say I think woke is a good thing. I don’t think woke is a bad thing. Woke has been turned into a dirty word. It’s not a dirty word. Woke is aware, it’s progressive, it’s understanding that the world ebbs and flows and changes.”
We’ve always had woke media. If it’s good, nobody will care at the end of the day.
Who the fuck is Megyn Kelly and why is she crying over a fictional show?
Former Fox News host and now podcaster whose brand relies on jostling conservative women to anger over culture wars.

Ohh, so no one of any importance then.
I’ve found her career fascinating, she’s the only one I’ve seen leave Fox and then go farther to the left. She was center right on the network and now she’s firmly planted on the right. Meanwhile Bill O’Reilly stayed mostly the same and Tucker Carlson is now the same as he was before, just less mask of and outspoken about his genuine positions
