It\u2019s virtually a cliche that Hollywood is the embodiment of cultural Marxism and exclusion of conservatives (see \u201cNavigating Hollywood: Conservatives and Christians Need Not Apply<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u201c). Now a new book, Primetime Propaganda<\/strong>: <\/span><\/a><\/em>The true Hollywood story of how the left took over your TV<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/strong>, <\/span>promises to provide a great deal of detail and juicy anecdotes on Hollywood and the Left.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the following video clip, Leonard Goldberg notes that liberalism in the TV industry is \u201c100 percent dominant, and anyone who denies it is kidding, or not telling the truth.\u201d When asked if politics are a barrier to entry, Goldberg says, \u201cAbsolutely.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s the familiar sense of moral and intellectual superiority:<\/span><\/p>\n

Friends<\/em> co-creator\u00a0Marta Kauffman<\/strong> says that when she cast\u00a0Candace Gingrich-Jones<\/strong>, half-sister of Republican former House Speaker\u00a0Newt Gingrich<\/strong>, as the minister of a lesbian wedding, \u201cThere was a bit of \u2018fuck you\u2019 in it to the right wing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Kauffman also acknowledges she \u201cput together a staff of mostly liberal people,\u201d which is another major point of Shapiro\u2019s book: that conservatives aren\u2019t welcome in Hollywood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe that\u2019s because they\u2019re \u201cidiots\u201d and have \u201cmedieval minds.\u201d At least that\u2019s what\u00a0Soap<\/em>and\u00a0Golden Girls<\/em> creator\u00a0Susan Harris <\/strong>thinks of TV\u2019s conservative critics.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the ranks of dumb right-wingers has dwindled, according to Harris, whose video has her saying: \u201cAt least, you know, we put\u00a0Obama<\/strong> in office[!!], and so people, I think, are getting \u2013 have gotten \u2013 a little bit smarter.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ah yes, a sure sign of intelligence is voting for Hollywood\u2019s preferred candidate. And now that Obama is president, we are all the wiser for it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hollywood discriminates against conservatives and is proud of it:<\/span><\/p>\n

Nicholas Meyer<\/strong> being asked point-blank whether conservatives are discriminated against in Hollywood. \u201cWell, I hope so,\u201d he answers. Meyer also admits his political agenda for\u00a0The Day After<\/em>, a\u00a0 TV movie he directed for ABC that was seen by 100 million people when it aired in 1983.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy private, grandiose notion was that this movie would unseat Ronald Reagan when he ran for re-election,\u201d Meyer says<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: 100 million viewers\u2013a vast audience when compared to the comparatively \u00a0minuscule numbers that read sites like this.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, producers acknowledge promoting the homosexual agenda and drug use. Particularly chilling is \u201cpresident of MTV Networks Entertainment Group\u00a0Doug Herzog<\/strong> talking about his network having \u201csuperpowers\u201d when it comes to its influence over young people.\u201d Even a passing familiarity with MTV shows its agenda of promoting multiculturalism, miscegenation of White girls with super cool Black males, drug use, and recreational sexuality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another obvious truth is that Jews run Hollywood. (See, for example, Edmund Connelly\u2019s \u201cRick Sanchez on Jewish Media Power<\/a><\/strong>\u201c). Virtually all the names mentioned in the linked article are Jewish, including the author, Ben Shapiro. Interestingly, Shapiro is a conservative who managed to get all these frank admissions by flagrantly calling attention to his liberal credentials: Being Jewish and sporting a Harvard Law hat was enough to get their confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMost of them didn\u2019t Google me. If they had, they would have realized where I am politically,\u201d he said. \u201cI played on their stereotypes. When I showed up for the interviews, I wore my Harvard Law baseball cap \u2014 my name is Ben Shapiro and I attended Harvard, so there\u2019s a 98.7 percent chance I\u2019m a liberal. Except I happen not to be.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I suppose we should be thankful for small things like getting a yet another picture of Hollywood and the left. Nothing new here\u2013the topic has been well covered even in the academic literature (see, e.g.,\u00a0here<\/a>, <\/strong><\/span>here, p. 48ff<\/span><\/strong><\/a> and Edmund Connelly\u2019s work (<\/span><\/strong>here<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, <\/span><\/strong>here<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, <\/span><\/strong>here<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, and <\/span><\/strong>here<\/span><\/strong><\/a>). B<\/strong>ut it shows once again the critical importance of media control in the media age. We don\u2019t have it; they do. That\u2019s why they\u2019re winning.<\/span><\/p>\n
