   @vkc I can see why they would delete such comments: Fox "News" seems to use "woke" as a general insult devoid of meaning. Once they realize that (a) all they meant was "I don't like it", and (b) how much effort it would take to explain why they don't like it, they delete the comment rather than spending hours trying to critique some software that they couldn't figure out how to use.
   Besides, maybe they don't want to admit to watching Fox News.

     @fu So what if the article is two years old? Fox news doesn't change its word usage with the phase of the moon.
