Here are a couple of quotes from Jewish men, evidence that hateful people might use to support their contention that Jewish film producers are out to corrupt:

Michael Medved, a well-known Jewish author and film critic: "It makes no sense at all to try to deny the reality of Jewish power and prominence in popular culture. Any list of the most influential production executives at each of the major movie studios will produce a heavy majority of recognizably Jewish names."

Jonathan J. Goldberg, now Editor of the influential Jewish community weekly Forward: "In a few key sectors of the media, notably among Hollywood studio executives, Jews are so numerically dominant that calling these businesses Jewish-controlled is little more than a statistical observation. Hollywood at the end of the twentieth century is still an industry with a pronounced ethnic tinge. Virtually all the senior executives at the major studios are Jews. Writers, producers and to a lesser degree directors are disproportionately Jewish -- one recent study showed the figure as high as 59 percent among top-grossing films."

Again, I'm not anti-Jew or anti-Israel. I'm just pointing out that some people might draw a connection between the junk coming out of Hollywood and those who produce that junk.

Not an easy conversation to have, this one....

You wrote of all the Jewish names you [think you] heard last night. I gave you a list of the actual names you heard. How many are Jewish? And how many that are Jewish are involved in anything corrupting?

Facts have a way of getting in the way of stereotypes.

The quality of films procuded in Hollywood is cyclic, and they've just had a particularly rotten run the past 5 - 7 years or so (with a few notable exceptions). But the Jewish influence in Hollywood (and popular culture in general) has always been disproportional, through both the good runs and the bad. .....and I have no problem with it. I suggest those who do have a problem with it - and I'm not suggesting you're one of them - get into the biz themselves rather than bitch and moan about it.
