> Get woke, go broke.
A quarter of all US newspapers closed since 2005, and they've been shutting down at a pace of 2 newspapers per week.

The same source extrapolates that a third of all US newspapers is set to close by 2025.
Do you honestly believe that this bankruptcy wave only affects "woke" newspapers?
Also, your "Get woke, go broke" comment is based on the idea that if a newspaper you follow starts reporting things you don't like or personally agree them protest is a healthy or desirable course of action, as if depriving funds from a business will eliminate things you don't like or understand. I'm not sure this is a healthy take, and is reminiscente of extremism.
