With the recent Weinstein scandal and the bizarre reporting on the Las Vegas massacre, perhaps it is time to take a step back and reconsider once again that much of the controversy over so-called "Fake News" has its origins in Hollywood and the dirty sidewalks of Broadway where both left coasts sandwich in the heartland of America from both sides with a media glitz filled with images that are interpreted from a leftist persuasion. If Hollywood fictionalizes historical movies purportedly based on actual events, can it be trusted to report to us the daily news?

Not a bad summation of where we are and how we got here.

I can’t see a Broadway show after my time in my Sociology class. I can’t get the victims of child perverts out of my mind.

***If Hollywood fictionalizes historical movies purportedly based on actual events,****
