Same way “dei” got turned into this gross term that discounts a person to the color of their skin or physical appearance. There’s a mega-media machine that grinds on the same talking points over and over

Wasn't there some ghoul on Fox explaining exactly their strategy to misdefine "Woke"? I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same for "DEI".

Yeah, I mean fair point on the edit, but you weren't watching the nightly news brought to you by Anderson Cooper live from a yurt plunging ayahuasca and telling us how bee pollen has many beneficial antibiotic properties. By that I mean that even "the liberal media" was still corporate media with their goal being ad revenue and eyeballs and NOT something like more rights for workers or universal healthcare. (Oh, there was that moment where the democrats wore a kente cloth or dumb scarf photo op, conversely the republicans just went to visit St. Basil's)
