I don’t think you and I are that far apart. I am just more focused on entertainers/ restaurants that FORCE you to hear their political crap, as a condition of buying their goods or services. (Similarly, look at Nabisco’s “Gay Pride” ad with the rainbow Oreo, supporting gay marriage, published to millions on Facebook and in print ads everywhere. NO one in the MSM criticized Nabisco for injecting itself needlessly into a nasty cultural/ political battle ... yet I’ve seen many “news stories” criticizing cultural conservatives FOR CRITICIZING Nabisco.)
When the lavender mafia pinklists businesses, actors, commentators, and singers, it is morally justified and a protest against closed minded bigotry.
When SOME in Hollywood tried to clear their ranks of Stalin loving Communists, they were demonized as the worst sort of paranoid authoritarians in the world. Even today, they speak of “the blacklist” although the KGB files confirmed what we knew.
The media is dominated by the “New Democrat” red diaper doper baby radicals of 1968. No wonder they’d spin these 2 examples as they do.
