Variety Magazine: 'As Fascism Takes Hold in the U.S.,' Will TV Show 'Real-Life Horrors?'
Newsbusters ^ | 20 Aug 2025 | Clay Waters

Posted on 08/23/2025 6:48:57 AM PDT by Alas Babylon!

The headline to Tuesday’s screed in Variety by Michael Schneider, the Hollywood-based entertainment mag’s executive editor for TV, was as subtle as a Michael Bay movie: “As Fascism Takes Hold in the U.S.,How Will — and Should — the TV Landscape Depict Our Real-Life Horrors?”

Schneider railed against living in a world “where our rights are continually under attack, our speech threatened, our healthcare slashed, our standing on the world stage destroyed, a secret police in ICE now roaming the streets and violently arresting people without just cause, military forces are being moved into our cities because they don’t support the president, women’s rights have been taken away, the advancement in gay marriage we just celebrated is now being threatened, books are being banned, important national institutions are being destroyed, and so on…..

Everything he says is a lie--or a fantasy made up by the Left to show their so-called "moral superiority".

Greg Gutfeld talked about this screed last night (22 August) on his show.

Variety magazine, projecting again.

If he wants to see real life Fascism in action, he should simply move to England

Gee, that mag shouldn’t be talking that way about itself and both of its readers and the entire Mobocrat party.

When is this rag going to go out of business? I don’t believe there are enough liberals to keep it still in business.

As most conservatives learn in life, to lazy and crooked people like Democrats, being expected to do their jobs is fascism in their minds….or at least what passes for their minds.

Most kids have the occasional thought their parents were Hitler-like any time they were told to do something they didn’t want to do, like…clean up their room. But most grow out of that.

Democrats never do. Large parts of their brains are stuck in adolescence or pre-adolescence.

Democrats had become fascists so they are projecting.

Not only that, but Trump is going to make you and your Variety pals wear leisure suits too.

This guy could add an anomaly to his List of living in Wonder-Horror-Land by adding that California just voted REPUBLICAN in something to do with elections.

THAT should make his day.

Given that showbiz types read “Variety” religiously we can surely expect a mass exodus of its readers now that they know that fascism is here to stay.

Michael Schneider, no doubt, throws green dildos.
