Hollywood Wants Your Money and Your Mind
The Coach's Team ^ | 2/9/18 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 02/08/2018 8:17:43 AM PST by Oldpuppymax

Imagine a group of activists so powerful that they could beam their propaganda directly into your brain. Now also imagine that they’re so sophisticated, they actually get you to pay them to do it.

Unfortunately, you don’t have to imagine it. It’s real. It’s Hollywood.

As big as the internet has become, Hollywood—and here, I’m talking specifically about television—is still king. Not only does it reach hundreds of millions of people with its messaging, it embeds that messaging in seemingly innocuous stories—stories that distract us from the hardships of daily life; stories that make us feel good, compassionate, and decent.

We watch TV, in other words, because we like it. And just as Americans didn’t think much about the carcinogens in the cigarettes they smoked for decades, most Americans don’t think much about the toxic politics in the television they watch.

But those who create that content do. They spin out hour after hour of slickly-produced left-wing propaganda and give themselves awards for doing it. They applaud each other’s “courage,” even though all their friends think exactly as they do.

I spoke with nearly a hundred members of the Hollywood community when I wrote my book, Primetime Propaganda, and many of them openly admitted they inserted “social justice” messages into their shows.

How they do it is both clever and effective.

Hollywood writers, producers, directors, and actors create characters we keep wanting to spend time with, then have those characters act in ways most of us would judge wrong. Then, in effect, they ask us a question: Isn’t it really okay that Rachel from Friends decided to have a baby without first marrying Ross? After all, you like Ross and you like Rachel! How can what they do be bad?

It hasn’t always been this way. For decades, Hollywood promoted...

“PrimeTime” gets recorded automatically daily

If I don’t scan thru it after a couple of days, it get quite crowded. Last night I deleted program after program after program in a matter of seconds, nary giving a thought that any of them might be of interest

At the end, only four remained . . . Shark Tank, a pre-Olympis program, and a couple of things the wife likes

It’s pure crap

Oh yeah, and haven’t been in a movie theater since The Passion. You know that “racist” Mel Gibson’s “anti Semitic” masterpiece?

That's because in the one instance they don't have a mind of their own and need a conservative realist thinking brain.

“The Passion”

Funny you mentioned that movie. Just got through watching it for the 1st time a couple of nights ago.......took me 3 sittings to watch it all, my heart couldn’t take it all at once. The wife still can’t watch it.

It’s deeper (and darker) than that I’m afraid.

Yup.....I saw it twice, first time by myself. Second time with my ex so she could see it

It was very emotional, esp the floggings etc.

Hollywood: A pile of wretched films churned out by the joyless, soybean estrogen, iPhone-poking, SJW Participation Trophy generation that has never seen the inside of a library or cracked a book that doesn’t have a boy wizard on the cover.

I’ll stick with reruns of Kojak in the evenings on DVD.

I refuse to give them movie ticket money. I admit to watching tv but mostly old detective shows and occasionally FOX news and even then have to turn it off when it gets too liberal. It’s sad when you can’t watch a cooking show or a home renovation show because of all the LGBTWHATEVERS in your face.
