7. Star Trek Was One Of Their First Casualties

Ever since Naziferatu Miller and Elon complained about the new "woke" Starfleet Academy show, there was a concerted effort by conservatives to get it cancelled. Most of them claimed that they only watched one episode and then trashed it. However, there were several obvious bots who kept claiming the same things. Of course, they focused on "bad writing" and specific characters that they didn't like. There was even a rumor put out that Shatner met with the executive in charge and said that he wouldn't do any appearances for the 60th anniversary unless they got rid of "that woke shit." He has come out and said that this was a lie, and he supported SFA.

So, you have to wonder, why are they trashing Paramount's most valuable franchise right at the moment that it's celebrating it's 60th anniversary? Were they trying to devalue the stock to make it cheaper? Or are they putting in a "non-woke" agenda on their entertainment programming, too?
