Dear edzo,
In TODAY’S vernacular, “the media” does NOT count books - although they should, music - although they should.
Hollywood has gone full Socialist queer anti-gun and anti-everything that America WAS.
Since millenials no longer read actual books, who is looking at the content of “books” they read?
“Rap” music, which is not music, is vile, filthy, anti-cop, anti-white, anti-social.
Modern day overpriced not-in-any-shape-or-form-a-comic-book “graphic novels”, are pornographic violence, and I’m saying that, as a Vietnam vet!!!
I am a supporter of the 2A, and a believer in concealed carry.
“Jobs and tax revenue” are a moot point, when all that you do does not contribute to the Gross National Product. A comic book is entertainment - no buildings ever built with that. A movie is entertainment - no bridges ever built with that. Music ... of any genre, has never framed a window, installed a commode, or tore down a neighbor’s car engine.
All the stuff Hollywood builds, is fake, even their firearms.
“Entertainment” for the last decade, or more, has become “indoctrination” to the ‘newer, improved’ social mores of this present day, whether they contribute to society or not.
I do not disagree that the content created is often crap, but to claim that all the 2 million people employed and $46 billion in wages to the film industry alone does not contribute to the economy is just false.
