That's a key. Although we are so entangled with Israel and the middle east it will be extremely difficult. Energy independence is critical

1. when people complain about "Hollywood", they a right-wingers.
2. "Hollywood" is funded mainly by Republicans.

People are so trusting of their political hate-mongering heros, that they have stopped thinking for themselves and just trust (and repeat) everything their hero says.
Problem is, the people running the show are not only trying to screw the Dems, they are going to screw you too. And you go willingly and stupidly.
They don't five a f**k about you; they have an agenda. You are a pawn. A manipulated pawn.

Um, I believe that is both sides. Especially since every other thread in P&N pretty much has one side thinking they have it right and the other side as well. Both are brainwashed but thats just me.

When Rush, or Fox news says "Hollywood", they are inferring that there is a liberal FORCE that is working night and day to corrupt the way you think, vote and live your life.
It's Bulls**t. And so is the continued myth of a "liberal media". The media is *owned* by right-wingers. It is the Corporate Media, doing just what the right-wing accused the left-wing of doing for these last 30 years. If you repeat a lie often enough, people believe it.

I can see this argument but I don't see how it would work in the real world, considering that a vast majority of journalists Identify themselves as moderate to liberal. Every person obviously puts in their views into what they write, and the corporation is there to make money. I don't think just saying that the Media is owned by conservatives inherently proves that the media has a conservative bias, but to me I could see how it would slant left when the people who run the day to day activities feel that way themselves

When you are the mouth of your enterprise, and you know what the owner wants, you won't last long opposing those wants.
Meanwhile, if newspeople want access to DC, they have to play patty-cake with the administration. None of that is conducive to liberal reporting today.

Umm, you think that Hollywood is pro terrorism or something? Protecting the country and being anti-terrorism is a priority to every political party... it isn't "the right", who talks big on terrorism while actually doing nothing to stop it(ports/borders anyone?)

did you miss the whole Jane fonda/ Michael Moore crowd somewhere?

yes, because they are pro-terroism :roll:

True, but on the same hand you can't run a company into the ground simply because you don't want something reported. You have to maintain credibility with your viewerbase and frankly entertain them. I don't think they have to ply the administration for approval. Especially when a lot of people would love to get a mouthpiece and get their names in the news. Am I saying that these don't affect it? No, but I also think it would be incredibly hard for one single person to control every aspect of his or her interests. Talk about micromanaging on a huge scale. In fact I would bet money every journalist would love to find a scandal to break the news and even if a conservative was in charge they'd run the story because it equals money for them.

What journalists? They read the words off the prompter and that is as close to the "NEWS" as they get.
