Hollywood - The Left's Propaganda Machine

"Let me control the media and I will turn any nation into a herd of pigs”

      Like the fascism of the 1930s and 1940s, big lies and propaganda are delivered through film and television shows with the precision of a metronome on a daily basis. Their goal is to radically change the culture through subliminal entertainment. They know that once you see, hear, or read something enough times, you start to think it’s actually true.

      Sitting down with your family to watch an evening of television the first thing you may notice is that every show has a prominent “gay character.” This is the ultimate media disconnect. Both news and entertainment bombard Americans with images of gay weddings, gay adoptions, and transgender triumphs, all claiming to be what NBC called ‘the new normal.” The scale of this is a lie. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently released a large-scale, first-of-its-kind government survey that stated that just 1.6 percent of American adults identify as homosexual, yet in our entertainment, that figure is ten-fold. The CDC numbers prove what we’ve been told might describe Hollywood, but not the rest of America.

      The propaganda is working. A Gallup survey found that 52 percent of Americans believed that 25 percent of the population was either gay or lesbian. Only 4 percent of people surveyed at that time thought that the homosexual population was less than 5 percent. The problem with popular culture is that production and distribution of entertainment is concentrated in the hands of the few, and they are all Liberals. Despite one failed movie and TV show after another that sought to undermine American and Conservative values, Hollywood still hasn’t gotten the picture.

      What happens in movies, television, music, whatever, eventually makes its way into the political realm and that is no accident. When liberal politicians want to raise funds and seek help for their campaigns, Hollywood is the first place they turn. Dr. David Prindle, professor of government at the University of Texas, Austin, conducted a 1990 study of Tinsel Town movie, television, and entertainment business luminaries and found that "the leaders in Hollywood were overwhelmingly liberal in their ideology." Just 30 percent of the public said they were liberal, compared to 60 percent of Hollywood's elite. While 43 percent of the general public said they were conservative, only 14 percent of Hollywood leaders claimed the label.

      The Sony attack, released by WikiLeaks, sent shockwaves through the U.S. entertainment industry when hackers leaked sensitive corporate data. The archive details Sony Pictures’ ties to the White House and connections to the Democratic Party. On more than one occasion then president Obama also met with a who's who of film industry leaders, including the chief executives of Lionsgate Entertainment , Twentieth Century Fox Film, The Walt Disney Co , and Warner Brothers and the WikiLeaks archive, which contains 30,287 documents and 173,132 emails, sheds light on Sony Pictures’ relationships with government.

      Talk show host Ben Shapiro interviewed several major Hollywood primetime television producers -- the people who make the fare we see. One after another, they saluted -- even cheered -- their hostility toward conservative America. Some bragged about injecting liberal messages in programming, while admitting they refuse to knowingly hire a conservative. MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell, formerly a "West Wing" writer, explained why the show lacked sympathetic Republican characters: "You'll never, ever, get the Republican TV show. The Writers Guild of America, my union, is, at a minimum, 99 percent leftist liberal.

      "In Hollywood, if you say you're a conservative, the translation is you're a bad person," Ben Shapiro, author of "Primetime Propaganda: The True Hollywood Story of How the Left Took Over Your TV" and host of "The Ben Shapiro Show,"

      We hear complaints all the time – patriots complaining about the messages coming out of Hollywood - “Hollywood is full of liberals.” This is true. Hollywood is a bastion of like-minded, unthinking liberalism. "They are very much to the left of the public in general on social, foreign policy, and economic issues," Shapiro said.

      “Conservatives need to engage in pop culture.” This is true as well. But what happens when they do? Recently, Tim Allen, relayed a dispicable truth, “You’ve gotta be real careful around here,” he said on Jimmy Kimmel Live. “You get beat up if don’t believe what everybody believes.” Allen jokingly added, “This is like ’30s Germany. I don’t know what happened. If you’re not part of the group, ‘you know what we believe is right,’ I go, ‘Well, I might have a problem with that.'”

      Allen had experienced a bit of backlash over his previous comments about Trump. “What I find odd in Hollywood is that they didn’t like Trump because he was a bully, but if you had any kind of inkling that you were for Trump, you got bullied for doing that. And it gets a little bit hypocritical to me.” 

      Thanks to an omnipresent, repetitive media and its virulent censorship by omission our nation's culture is changing. In today's America most writers, hosts and everyone else for that matter, make at least occasional references, if not flat-out word-for-word quotes of the Leftist agenda. This is not an accident. This is proof positive that Hollywood is a bastion of liberal politics. Pop culture is the fertilizer for the seeds from which the future sprouts. To many Americans the future looks grim.
