Who runs Hollywood? C'mon [2008]
Los Angeles Times ^ | 12/19/2008 | Joel Stein

Posted on 04/27/2015 5:19:18 AM PDT by PieterCasparzen

I have never been so upset by a poll in my life. Only 22% of Americans now believe "the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews," down from nearly 50% in 1964. The Anti-Defamation League, which released the poll results last month, sees in these numbers a victory against stereotyping. Actually, it just shows how dumb America has gotten. Jews totally run Hollywood.

...

The Jews are so dominant, I had to scour the trades to come up with six Gentiles in high positions at entertainment companies. When I called them to talk about their incredible advancement, five of them refused to talk to me, apparently out of fear of insulting Jews. The sixth, AMC President Charlie Collier, turned out to be Jewish.

As a proud Jew, I want America to know about our accomplishment. Yes, we control Hollywood. Without us, you'd be flipping between "The 700 Club" and "Davey and Goliath" on TV all day.

So I've taken it upon myself to re-convince America that Jews run Hollywood by launching a public relations campaign, because that's what we do best. I'm weighing several slogans, including: "Hollywood: More Jewish than ever!"; "Hollywood: From the people who brought you the Bible"; and "Hollywood: If you enjoy TV and movies, then you probably like Jews after all."

Some funny observations from Joel Stein back in 2008.

Can we admit this... and then ask our Jewish brethren for some help on improving Hollywood's morals ?

Huh ? Maybe ? A little help ? From God's chosen people ? Please try to use your influence to stop the rampant immorality in the entertainment industry ?

Instead, we get "Moral Orel" and Dana Carvey's "Church Lady".

Who cares? As long as Mel Brooks keeps making parodies...Hollywood is in good hands.

Right?

As a simple matter of business I ask - does the culture make Hollywood or does Hollywood make the culture? Risk averse business people don’t want to produce flops- so which comes first ? Risky Hollywood productions that influence culture or safe projects that reinforce what’s already there?

Does not the entertainment industry pretty much mock God on a continual basis ?

The American Jews in Hollywood are the most Liberal of all.

I have a best friend who, after college, went to LA for work. He had majored in Cinematography and adored cameras and film/filmmaking. He was very smart and talented.

He was also a nicely brought up Catholic boy.

After 4 years, he gave up.

‘Hollywood is all run by women, gays and Liberal Jews. I couldn't make it in that town if I tried for a hundred years,’

On the contrary - I see all kinds of immorality - that flops financially !

It’s all about immorality.

Even “family shows” etc., put out cr@p caricatures of moral people.

Going back as far as All in the Family - Archie Bunker was portrayed as a bigoted idiot.

Look at the executives on that show, the producers, directors.

It’s been non-stop ever since the modern entertainment industry started.

You have your choice with what the entertainment industry produces: you can have direct, explicit immorality, or you can have subtle immorality embedded into the entertainment, with a thin veneer faux morality (a deception).

That’s it ?

Biblical films ?

What percentage of films are Biblical films ?

0.0000001% ?

Not even mentioning that many of us Reformed Christians understand that making a Biblical story film is unscriptural, as it is impossible to get it perfectly correct.

But the big point is - making Biblical films is meaningless when the industry is churning out anti-Christ wicked garbage.

TV in general is pretty much the same. Have the right liberal credentials or just be a willing yes man lackey and one can advance and also get invited to go on good paying freelance gigs.

After so many years of beating my head against the wall and going nowhere in TV land, I finally escaped the plantation.

From what ones I know of from the old country that make big bucks in their regular jobs and side stuff, they are still good at keeping everything a tight little club. No unwashed peasants or unfavorite people please.

It's a mutually interacting feedback system. Each facet drives the other.

My friend said: ‘They don’t make films ... they make deals’. And of course, the ‘product’ proves what he said.

If my life depended on it, I couldn’t tell you when I last bought a ticket and went to see a Hollywood movie.

The good films are few and far between (I’ll wait and see them on TV) and the rest aren’t WORTH the price of a ticket, anyway!

I wonder why it is, that in recent years, we see so much homosexuality in TV and movies.

It sure seems that someone, somewhere behind the scenes, is pushing homosexuality and liberal views of issues.

Considering that most of America is not strongly liberal on homosexuality, or anything else for that matter, it seems odd that the entertainment industry pushes fringe behaviors, and always on the liberal side of the spectrum.

That's because there is. You and I have discussed this before.

The question is, what to do about it? I am of the opinion that until we develop conservative competition for the News and Entertainment Industries, they will continue to have a monopoly in pushing Liberal/Homosexual views.

One aspect of which I am not sure you are aware is that Liberals tend to be Malthusian. They believe the planet is overpopulated, (especially with undesirables, in their opinion) and that they should support policies and ideas which reduce population.

So which of their policies reduce population?

Abortion? Check.

Homosexuality? Check.

Pitting one group against another in an envy game? Check.

Gun Control? Check.

Drugs? Check.

Anti-Vaccine? Check.

Anti-Religious? Check.

Government ran Healthcare? Check.

And so on. If you look at what they support, it generally has the end result consequence of killing or preventing people.

They are literally the forces of anti-life.

Considering that most of America is not strongly liberal on homosexuality, or anything else for that matter, it seems odd that the entertainment industry pushes fringe behaviors, and always on the liberal side of the spectrum.

Well like I mentioned, they really do have groups in Hollywood deliberately pushing Homosexual propaganda on the masses. Remember that Series "True Blood"? Even the Writers have admitted the Vampires were proxies for Homosexuals.

They try to put it into their plots and scripts anywhere they can.

Please do not accuse me of anti-Semitism, I’m simply repeating what Joel Stein, a Jew and the author of this article, found and wrote about in a newspaper.

Joel Stein, in the article from this thread, found:

Studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times regarding the Screen Actors Guild contract.

The open letter was signed by:

News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish)

Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish)

Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish)

Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew)

Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish)

CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel)

MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish)

NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish).

These are Joel’s findings and little comments, not mine.

In the article, Joel also says he had to “scour the trades” to come up with 6 Gentiles in high positions, and 5 of them refused to talk to him about this, and the 6th turned out to be Jewish.

Apparently no one likes to actually talk about this on the record.

I’m just thinking that Jewish Hollywood execs are undoubtedly aware of the Old Testament and the fact that homosexuality is condemned in the Bible - they should be anti-homosexual.

Studio heads like those above are the ones calling the shots in entertainment - and I say let’s go guys, let’s reverse course, and have Hollywood turn out anti-homosexual product.

Those execs need to read the Old Testament !

Homosexual acts are described in it as an abomination before God !

We've heard that song before.

Words like lebensraum and untermenschen come to mind. With leftists, it always comes down to killing the people who get in the way.
