What We Think

'The New York Times Presents' offers a masterclass in woke storytelling, leaving little room for dissent or tradition. Its focus on identity politics, critique of Western norms, and lack of viewpoint diversity earn it a near-perfect woke score.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show consistently prioritizes identity narratives and social issues, often structuring episodes around marginalized perspectives at the expense of a more holistic or even-handed exploration. Some viewers may interpret this as an ideological lens overtaking pure storytelling or balanced reporting.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Many episodes highlight critiques of traditional institutions such as family, law enforcement, or historical values. There's a recurring tendency to frame longstanding norms as problematic, with little defense of traditional cultural foundations. Some audiences will see this as undermining core societal structures.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or non-woke viewpoints, if shown at all, tend to be through caricature, straw-man arguments, or cast as antagonistic forces. Few substantive, nuanced non-woke perspectives are sincerely represented or explored. Ideological uniformity is the clear standard here.
