Fox News Star Apparently Thinks Star Trek Isn’t ‘Woke’ or ‘Feminist’
"Boasting that she’s not a fan of Star Wars because of its “wokeness” and feminism, Fox News host Emily Compagno instead gleefully declared on Thursday that she was instead a “Trekkie,” seemingly unaware that Star Trek has long been lauded over its progressive bona fides.
Days into a conservative media freakout over Disney announcing that Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy—a Pakistani-born woman who’s directed award-winning feminist documentaries—will helm the next installment in the Star Wars franchise, Fox News panel show Outnumbered decided to jump into the fray with its own predictable take.
For the most part, the conservative Fox hosts parroted much of the outrage that’s been sweeping right-wing social media about Disney’s decision to hire the first woman and first person of color to direct a Star Wars feature film. Conservative anger has especially been directed at Obaid-Chinoy for recently saying “it’s about time that we had a woman come forward to shape a story in a galaxy far, far away,” as well as comments she made eight years ago about how she enjoys “making men uncomfortable” with her films."
