Now, in the grand tradition of continuing to make everything but what American consumers want to see, Hollywood will be giving us a movie about the events at the Capitol on January 6th.Because of course they are.Given the names attached, one can already imagine the absurdity of what this movie might entail. Billy Ray will direct. You’ll know him from his most recent directorial project that you most certainly...

Many might think there is an obvious correlation between political leanings and TV preferences but in a new report backed by the Pop Culture Collaborative, the findings were both expected and unexpected. So much that it will make you raise your eyebrows and make you nod and say “Interesting!” whilst stroking your chin. The Norman Lear Center at USC Annenberg and the futurePerfect Lab released a report today titled Are You What You Watch: Tracking the Political Divide Through TV Preferences which examines the links between our political beliefs, TV viewing habits, and behavior. This report comes a little over...

Hulu's drama series Handmaid's Tale has garnered critical acclaim and has won dozens of awards including Best Drama Series at the Emmys and Golden Globes. According to liberals, the show is supposed to reflect "Trump's America." With the novel having been covered completely in season 1, the writers have turned "Gilead" into the dystopian nightmare that the left claims Trump and Pence want for our country in season 2. One character in particular has been written as a victim of homophobia, with every imaginable tragedy happening to her. The character Emily (played by Gilmore Girls' Alexis Bledel) has had the...

CBS All Access’s The Good Fight will explore Donald Trump’s impeachment in an upcoming episode. Rather than having the traditional CBS executive Q&A, at which Reporters Who Cover Television take turns excoriating the network for lack of diversity, the network held one of the most interesting panels of this TCA to date, in which various showrunners took questions about politics and social issues on television. The Good Fight stole the show when EP Robert King told TV critics at TCA on Saturday about an upcoming episode in which the DNC seeks guidance from series’ law firm about the legal case...

In October 18’s episode of Star, Hollywood continues its audience-repelling strategy of using entertainment as a medium for heavy-handed, left-wing proselytizing. The Fox drama follows main character Alex’s boyfriend, Derek—a Black Lives Matter activist—as he attempts to get out of his funk about being paralyzed and get out of the house. Alex encourages him to attend a Black Lives Matter meeting, because hey, nothing gets one out of one's funk quite like racist, anti-capitalist political activism. Instead, Derek takes a trip to a convenience store in his wheelchair. While shopping, he observes two white racists harassing a Muslim female cashier...

It examines how decades of racially biased policing in segregated neighborhoods with failing schools, crumbling infrastructure and too few jobs has led to the high-profile cases of police brutality in Ferguson, Cleveland, Baltimore and elsewhere and the birth of...

Hollywood matters. It matters because we watch Hollywood product day in and day out. Your children spend six or seven hours at school, and couple of hours with their friends, and a couple of hours with you. They spend a full three hours with the television. You get home from work, kick off your shoes, and plop down in front of the TV, hoping simply to chill out. Instead, you get unmitigated liberalism pouring out of your TV. But you continue to watch because it’s great. It’s fun, thrilling, dramatic, or hilarious. We think it has no impact on us....

This movie was a case study in Hollywood propaganda. Gene Hackman (The evil villain) says, "I hate Democrats as much as I hate . . . " Dustin Hoffman, the quintesential liberal, is out to defend society from the evil corporate gun manufacturers. Puke! I had to see the movie, my husband is an attorney and loves these movies. I'm not sure if the movie was terrible or the propaganda was so blatant I was just disgusted.

It's 10 p.m.; do you know where the truth is? While the mainstream, socialist news media lurch from one embarrassing scandal to another, social engineers operate with impunity, using "realistic" entertainment programs as propaganda tools. Consider NBC's Law & Order. L&O's liberal producer, Dick Wolf, controls a stable of five crime-oriented shows (also Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, L.A. Dragnet and Crime & Punishment), making him one of the most powerful men in Hollywood. For years, Law & Order, which is filmed in Manhattan, advertised its episodes as being "ripped from the headlines," a...
