Those ("God's Not Dead" & "The Passion of the Christ") aren't my kind of movies...

That's quite an admission by John Stossel...

Funny that these entertainers who make millions have no interest in sharing their own wealth, as far as I can tell.

Socialism?

Unabashed Marxism

And every commercial must have a interracial couple, and if possible, a homosexual couple. And every movie has the same.

All animals are equal, some are more equal than others

Same as it ever was down on the Communist Animal Farm

Some actresses are now getting vocal about getting pressured into performing in nude lesbian scenes in movies and tv shows.

Gay For Pay is a thing.

Reviews for the conservative-friendly comedy An American Carol were not good (reviewers are liberals too) and libs cheered when it wasn’t a big hit. Ditto the Atlas Shrugged movies—they loved that those weren’t blockbusters.

One bit in An American Carol imagined what would have happened if there weren’t a Civil War. There could still be slavery. Gary Coleman played a slave, washing and waxing “Massa Malone’s” car (a Michael Moore-like film director). “Don’t you worry, we’ll get those bacon stains out...”

One line that was later cut was having Coleman tossing a sponge to someone off screen: “Yo, Barack—catch!”

It seems every villain/criminal is now a white male which flies in the face of statistical reality.

Statics on crime by race:

Producers are more interested in indoctrination than entertainment. The trick is being able to make money while you project your vile values.

I view a number of “free” streaming sites (legally funded via advertising or library card credits).

There are a lot of far Left programs espousing glorious Communism and violent radicalism (including the whitewashed Oscar nominated Weather Underground documentary) on them.

There are some conservative documentaries to be found as well but not among the highlighted catalog.

Thank you!

I was thinking about watching Jack Ryan, and hoping it would not be another show infected with Hollywood-Leftism like so many.

Now after this article, I know it is, so will avoid it.

I think you’ll find there’s quite a difference between being a social liberal, like these Hollywood types, and being a committed Marxist.

Just do a web search on crime race and statistics.

They aren't really my kind of movies either. God is Not Dead is poor apologetics, and Passion is just too graphic for me.

Wife and I mention this on more than one occasion. Cannot understand why that is so necessary along with the vulgar sex scenes.
