Nobody on TV is "based." No, not even that guy you're thinking of right now. TV is a portal to the Stoopidverse, and it is used to hold your attention and keep you passive and controllable until you die. There are a lot of shekels to be made for people who can do this. Any tactic is acceptable, be it "wokeness" or "basedness," so long as that tactic performs the above functions. "Wokeness" and "basedness" are just styles of performance, and performers will switch styles to keep you watching so they can make their shekels.
