Hollywood is the Left’s Propaganda Wing
IWB ^ | Mark Angelides

Posted on 05/27/2017 4:18:51 AM PDT by davikkm

Does watching a movie nowadays leave you with the feeling that you’ve just been preached to? Quite likely it’s because you have. The whole Hollywood industry has abandoned its primary cause of entertainment and moved into the field of social conditioning. And the agenda is not in our interests; it’s in the interests of the big corporations and the liberal elites.

Consider one example: Neill Blomkamp’s 2013 blockbuster Elysium. The human race lives in two divided societies, one in the space station Elysium, where all is clean and diseases are miraculously cured, and the other on the poor, polluted planet Earth populated by the unfortunate (and mostly Spanish speaking) left-behinds. The film invites us to make the parallel between the US and Mexican border issues.

It is no surprise that the movie was released to coincide with an unprecedented rise in illegal immigration and new laws to make this acceptable. Senate Immigration Bill S.744 sought to provide amnesty for more than one million illegal aliens. Also in 2013, lawmakers in 45 states and the District of Columbia enacted 184 laws and 253 resolutions all related to immigration with majority aiming to make life easier for those who entered the country illegally.

Left Right Left Right.

And the dialectic manure spreader wobbles merrily along for the benefit of the oligarchic kleptocracy in which the only party that matters is the fund raiser.

These so-called social justice movies exemplify the typical liberal/prog opportunism:

Hollywood is hot to trot.

They’re eager to say “they’re for their fellow man” and hoping like hell to make a buck on it.

You hear people calling the Media the propoganda arm of the Democratic Party.

I think it is more accurate to call the Democratic Party the political arm of the Media.

If you think about it all the power centers of the left- Democratic Party(elected and not-elected),Hollywood, TV, Academia, Book publishing, Government employees, Unions, if attacked or systematically vilified by the National News Media would collapse under the onslaught.

For example if the news media was to actually to cover elections honestly, with equal skepticism directed at both parties, the Democratic Party would not even get 40% of the vote.

Your comment=correct & what Rush hss been saying for weeks.

1. While OBVIOISLY film, etc have “propaganda value”, it’s over stated. Our side forgets that, except for Radio Free Europe, the Soviets TOTALLY controlled ALL entertainment for over u0 years . . And still lost and a handful of rock and rollers consistently got through with more real effect. See my movie “Rockin’ the Wall.”

2. As Breitbart urged, we cannot retreat from film & entertainment but wade in and fight. And NOT with preachy documentaries (or even non-preacy ones like mine) but with solid ENTERTAINMENT first whose message is buried for people to think about. D’Souza is needed, but as he admits he preaches to the choir.conservative $$ guys need to invest. Again and again, because not every film is a hit. But so far they still don’t get Breitbart’s Law; Politics is downstream of culture.

It’s got to drive the left insane that they own the news media, entertainment and academia but still can’t get back in power. Someday one of them might actually stumble across the realization that it’s they that are the problem. That person will probably be killed.

Designated Survivor on ABC is another current one. Who are the bad guys in the show? Islamic terrorists?

Nope. An Alt-Right group wanting to "take back" the country.

Sound familiar?

You'd swear this show was concocted to be the talking points show for a Hillary regime.

They really started doing this back in 1968 after the murder of Bobby Kennedy. After that TV became unwatchable with it’s constant leftist mantra.

Millionaire socialists are happy to pat themselves on the back for redistributing other people’s money.
