Under Shapiro's premises.... Leave it to Beaver was as much propaganda as Will & Grace was at normalizing same sex marriage. LITB was riddled with nuances that sent messages about how the woman's place was at home, etc. Hell even some as recent as Forrest Gump is heralded as a case for conservationism by many who reviewed it at the time. Even the most mentally challenged conservative man from the south was smarter than all the liberals in the movie. Yes you have TV and movies that naturally have a more progressive message.... you know why.... because artists who write, sing, and act, are often liberal for some reason. I know that The Last Jedi is having a HUGE backlash with right wingers because how dare our male hero get suppressed by not one by TWO female superiors wearing dresses. (sort of spoiler.... sorry). Will and Grace did a number by normalizing homosexuals we all know, work with, and made them funny and normal everyday people. Oh... .NO... how dare you Hollywood. This idea that Hollywood is this big machine though with corporate mind control gimmicks to make everyone democrats is so old and tired, and poorly thought out. Use logic here folks..... who controls Hollywood???... not the Illuminati... not Brad Pitt.... but Disney, Fox, Comcast, Time Warner, etc. etc. These are CORPORATIONS... what political party benefits Corporations the most.....???? Do you think Disney REALLY doesn't want that corporate tax rate that the Republicans are pushing down our throats? Do you think 20th Century Fox wants regulations out the wazoo that make hiring cheap labor that much harder??? Do you think Miramax hates a political party that glorifies war, and the military so they can continue to have half their movies be about brave soldiers fighting brown people? Yes... the artists that make movies and TV shows.... sure... they might have SJW tendencies as they ALWAYS have... (Hello... the BEATLES)... but this argument that there is so big bad Illuminati pulling the strings to somehow make you VOTE for Democrats who will enact law and policy that works AGAINST the interests of the actual companies that finance Hollywood is insane. Also..... Steve Bannon... Hollywood producer (Seinfeld & his time at Goldman Sachs made him rich beyond belief) Steve Mnuchin .... Hollywood producer (responsible for the gem that is Suicide Squad) Donald Trump..... give me a break.... he's been "Hollywood" longer than anyone else in Hollywood other than maybe Clint Eastwood. No other White House has had more connections to "Hollywood elites" than Donald Trump's so GTFO with this Ben Shapiro nonsense.
Naming couple of conservatives in Hollywood doesn't necessary win the argument that entertainment industry isn't leftists. If you look at Hollywood producers majority of them are liberal democrat donors. It's not far fetch to believe that tv shows or movies have an influence on people. We can argue that the influence is bad or good but we can all agree that there is an influence.
You cannot say . . . TV are pushing an agenda . . . and infer that it is wrong Then in the next sentence say TV use to Push MY AGENDA . . . If pushing an agenda is wrong. . . . .then it was wrong in the 50s . . . it wrong in the 60s . .. it is wrong His basic premise is. . . when they push MY AGENDA . .. then it isn't pushing an agenda .. . it is not wrong When they go against MY AGENDA then they are pushing an agenda .. . and it is wrong This Dude talking out of both sides of his neck Rocket River
