Heavy Bias - Poor exploration of subject

This article is a classic example of writer bias and exemplifies strong unfamiliarity with comprehension of literary neutrality; this article is an emotionally-charged parallel of a grade-school journal entry. Strongly recommend deletion or overhaul of article by someone more competent and familiar with construction of literature for encyclopedic purpose. 35.33.138.240 (talk) 15:36, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the first time, I think someone would have been better off letting AI speak for them. Daniel Case (talk) 22:35, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

United example

I've removed the United Airlines example, which read:

After United Airlines announced in 2021 that they sought to increase the number of women and people of color hired as pilot trainees, Piers Morgan accused the company of virtue signaling and Tucker Carlson described the company's executives as "ideologues ... suffering from an incurable brain disease called wokeness".^[1]

The cited Washington Post article does not use the "go woke, go broke" phrasing, which means this example runs into WP:SYNTH issues. In addition, while the quote from Carlson mentions "wokeness", neither he nor Morgan argue that United will go "broke" as a result. It doesn't seem to be a good fit for this page.
