Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Being a 1994 entertainment news program, 'Extra' focused on celebrity news and stories, not narrative fiction. Identity politics and ideological casting were not central, with coverage mainly prioritizing popular appeal over agenda-driven topics. There is little evidence of narrative integrity being distorted for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

'Extra' reflected mid-1990s mainstream culture, with no notable subversion or critique of religion, family, or traditional values. In those days, the show mirrored societal norms rather than challenging or upending them, making it very non-woke by today’s standards.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show featured a broad array of guests and topics, mostly steering clear of ideological homogeneity or caricature. Coverage was more about Hollywood buzz than message activism, with no overt villainization of traditional perspectives detectable.
