Fox News is many things, but it seems to me that, above all, it's grievance reception for a particular kind of insecure adult over 50 who is embarrassingly mourning the loss of a future that openly doesn't want them and failing in an attempt to pretend they're not bothered by it.

@charlotteclymer Linguist Dr. Valerie Fridland wrote an amazing book ("Like, Literally Dude") about this. I read it at @grammargirl 's recommendation.

Self-appointed "language purists" have been using their own arbitrary standards of language to demonize and dismiss the language of historically vulnerable groups (women, children, people of color) for centuries. It has nothing to do with caring about language and everything to do with preserving a societal hierarchy.
