Seemed odd for Jeopardy...

I believe the Jeopardy writers are patriots, or some of them. I watch every night. They write some very pointed clues, disguised cleverly to pass the censors. When war broke out last spring, one question involved Kiev being the original capital of historic Russia. Many questions about Orwell's 1984, constitutional questions, they even brought up Zelensky's former 'acting' role as a fake president. I wasn't surprised in the slightest. They're red-pilling for sure, in very subtle, yet uncontestable ways.
Interesting. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Ken Jennings anti-Trump? That'd be even funnier if the writers are also getting some trolling in while dropping comms.
I like this idea.
Well one can assume jeopardy writers are extremely well read in literature and history. They would know what tyranny looks like.
Great take - I think you have a valid observation.
Your idea of Jeopardy redpilling is interesting. I wonder how it interplays with the obvious increase of woke questions since Trebek died. Sometimes when the deep state or Biden admin has a new scandal, Jeopardy tries to distract and ‘whatabout’ by digging up Watergate from fifty years ago. Or the holocaust or nazis or whatever. They’ve taken shots at America’s founders while overemphasizing relatively modest accomplishments of nonwhites. One time they had the category of “Celebrities” and all five of the answers were black people. They’ve also asked about How To Be An Antiracist by Ibram X Kendi and about a photo of Ta Nehisi Coates. Last week they had a category where all the responses included the letters “ize”. Their answers were woke buzzwords such as “marginalize” and “internalize”. The other day they asked what Novak Djokovic and Kyrie Irving refused to do that got them blocked from competing. The contestant said “What is… Get Vaccinated” and Ken repeated back, “Yes, Get Vaccinated” as if he was giving an imperative to the audience.
On the surface level, it looks like Jeopardy has gone woke just to keep up with the commie times, but thinking about it a little more deeply… it’s so over-the-top and cringey that maybe they’re trying to lampoon wokism. Hard to say.
I wonder if there's an inside battle between the writers and the producers, which might explain the conflicting, back-and-forth subject categories. Your examples have given me much to think about. Just the other day there was a category called Wouk Mob, pronounced 'woke', but was a pun on a writer by the name of Wouk. I imagine the producers influencing incidents like the "Get Vaccinated" example, while the writers respond with subtle commentaries of their own, like "Woke Mob". Poor Jennings is being pulled in both directions! lol I picture the writers, who are undoubtedly well-informed, as closet anons, and the producers as bloodthirsty corporate bullies.
Behind-the-scenes civil war at Jeopardy! sounds like an interesting story
I've noticed as well, watch all the time. They do it a lot
