    It will be interesting to see if Hollywood reverses course, like many other industries are doing, over the next 4-years.

    I think a lot of conservative actor have been afraid of being black listed if they spoke their minds. Trump should hold a conservative actors convention in Hollywood hosted by Jon Voight. Put the Hollywood leftist on notice conservatives will not be intimidated or silenced any longer.

    while I see the logic here the major problem is the studio directors and big wigs in charge of who works and who doesn't...

    you also have the CCP funding so many movies and producers of films... money talks to those people... and they will say and do much for that money...

    so ya you can gather them but that could backfire on the actors...

    "Holly wood" has a checkered past and very interesting origin. Just the name is spooky, deriving thoughts of holly, the wood used in magic wands, and this leads down the rabbit hole to include ancient druids and banishing or evoking spirits. There's more to consider, and it has to do with captivating the minds of other people...and we all should know more than enough about mind control.

    At the end of the day, I suppose it doesn't really matter as long as you don't become a victim to the industry. When they start programming our children, I'd say it's a safe bet they are up to no good. The trouble is, I think some shady and sinister people have been working on this since day one, when television was still in its infancy. What we see today is full technicolor + high fidelity ultra 4k mind warping enjoyment. If it isn't trying to program a feeble and young mind, it's trying to market something to you.

    Just the videos on subliminal messages from the 40's and later should scare the hell out of people...but it doesn't. The Use of Subliminal Messages in Film and Advertising

    I'm an engineer in the business. Content is dictated by corporate, and the whole enterprise is about nothing but money. It's about sales and sponsors and more and more money.

    “The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason.”
    ― Hunter S. Thompson, Generation of Swine: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the '80's

    Movies are a 1 shot deal, TV is everyday poison. Did you ever notice all commercials have at least 1 minority, even if the rest of the cast is caucasian? Local "news" is now a "show", with the content heavily scrutinized to be the most impactful with respect to the sponsors. Like a focus on roof damage from storms when a major sponsor is a roofing company..
    Our world has become a money trench, where no one does anything for the good of the people but for the money they can make.

    You’re absolutely right—media today feels more driven by profit than purpose. It’s all about what sells, not what matters, and genuine information often takes a backseat to advertising and sponsorship influence.

    Absolutely. Literally every TV commercial has wise blacks in it and every White person, especially White males are portrayed as blithering morons. Total opposite of reality. And they are doubling and tripling down on it and other propaganda. Do those White guys who act in the ads even realize what they are doing? Probably not, because they are indoctrinated morons in real life who are doing it for the money and need to have their asses kicked severely.

    The only real solution is to kill your TV.

    This is very true, but at the same time it also isn't. We all know how corporations like Pfizer will market and be the sponsor for every event, this is pretty much common knowledge. But, if we take a look at TV ratings for CNN, CBS, MSNBC, etc... they are all tanking BIGTIME. And it's not a matter of reaching the audience any more, either. There are fewer people watching the mainstream news and syndicated Zionist shows now than ever before...but the corporations keep shoveling the money to these TV companies...and we pretty much know why now.

    In order to control the future, they have to always be the only voice. These media companies are willing to lose money just to maintain control. And the kick in the pants is, Pfizer and all the rest are invested in these corporations, it's all a sham. The top shareholders are always the same groups, and most are owned by Blackrock, Statestreet, and Vanguard. They just keep promoting their own propaganda, day after day no matter if they only have a fraction of the audience they once had.

    Blacks makeup 13% of the population I swear they are represented in commercials 80% or more.
    14% of the population has now become the majority in TV and commercials

    Just not entirely true.
    First, everyone knows television is on a downward spiral, and media are ALL already heavily invested in digital media to keep the revenue streams running, as well as ATSC 3.0 upgrades which will allow the transmitters to send to portable digital devices in the near future, basically moving content to the phones and tablets everyone has their noses stuck to.

    Second, The structure of media is the station owned local stations. They get programming from the big networks with time slots allowed for local content. There are commercials, or spots, placed into the programming that are the revenue generators. The price of the spot depends on the rating of the show it is in. This is why infomercials run in the early mornings when the spots cost the least. It is all money driven and no one in this business would ever consider losing a dime to maintain control, whatever "control" is. It happens all of the time that inventory (available spots) will be filled and bidding wars start over the available time slots. Local stations will also have local shows to generate revenue, with local advertisers. Politics rarely enter into the picture, mostly due to FCC regulations but in large part due to revenue generation. It is a money hungry business and it takes a lot of money to run it. However, sometimes the local station ownership will buck the system, as Sinclair and Nexstar did when they refused to air Jimmy Kimmel. This resulted in huge losses of revenue for both companies.
    Third, Sinclair is indeed owned by stockholders, but the majority is held by the family that started it. Most employees own some too via stock purchase plans.

    Finally, the major networks operate in much the same way as local stations and also have to meet FCC requirements such as morality, hours each week for childrens programming, etc. At the end of the day though, for the most part they put on programming that will make money from advertisers. If stupid shit like "The View" is watched by enough idiots to keep the Nielson ratings up to a certain point, it stays on the air. So at the end of the day, it's "we the people" who steer media by what we watch. If a show gets ratings low enough that advertisers aren't willing to spend the money, it goes off the air to make room for something that WILL generate revenue. Phizer, DuPont, Monsanto, etc are NOT going to pay for advertisements that no one will see.

    @Tempstar is correct. I worked at one time for Big Bird Inc (Local PBS TV Station)

    They will survive just fine, the ads they show will not just be called advertising. Odd, most of the station working staff (non-management) was pretty conservative.

    I did IT work at the station and had Rush Limbaugh on the radio. The station manager (a real lib) came into my office and told me "We have a nice station (PBS FM) you should try listening to that".

    I started listening with headphones.

    Despite the "massive and diaconicon" cuts, not a single station in Alaska has closed.

    Yeah, you must be talking about the old America. This is modern day America, the corporations all own each other, Bro. What I was getting at, essentially, is that one corporation loses money from poor ratings, it gets money siphoned into it by another already invested. But you are technically correct because smaller "companies" (virtually everything is incorporated now) are supposed to make money, it's just logical. The "control" you seem to have a problem with is WHO gets to make the news because it sure as shit isn't journalism these days, it's just fictional garbage, made up, not real, pretend, full on propaganda.
    Eh, we are going to have to disagree here. You've got to prove to us that these major networks go out of business because "We, The People" control this show...because I've never seen that happen yet. The ratings are also fake. And yes, these TV stations want to make money, they DO make tons of money from advertisers who love promoting the communist agenda, this is the whole cycle I mentioned earlier. But it has nothing at all to do with ratings. ;)

    I get it, though. Older people tend to think that advertising works like it did back in the old days. Well, it does, but it also doesn't. These days, it's all about not allowing the small companies to take the spot, it's about full on corporate hegemonic control, it's about keeping their money flowing in the same circles...

    Think ororboros, the serpent eating its own tail.

    Bro, I work for a television station. I have for the last ten years. I see it work as I described. Every day.

    Advertising rates are based on ratings, be it a sitcom or the local news. The sales people go after whomever will pay the rate we ask, no matter who they are. There are exceptions like the Super Bowl where the advertisers have already bid millions to have their product in your living room for 15,30, or 60 seconds.

    Prime time spots run several thousand dollars per. At 3 a.m. I have seen spots on the local channel as cheap as $5 for a 30 second commercial.

    If the advertisers don't want to support a show, they pull their money. Eventually, no money=no show.

    At the network level, maybe. At the local station level I get to watch our people bust their asses to provide coverage that is interesting to our audience, pure journalism. Also, it has to be factual. I have seen enough lawsuits at bigger stations and have seen people fired on the spot for delivering anything less than truthful facts.

    Oh, I see what you're getting at. You still believe that you guys are doing a good job, I get it. Yeah, it's nice to like your job. And I'm sure you are telling the truth. At a smaller network, especially back in the 80's you could see such things readily enough. But, your small network vs. big network mind virus is completely illogical. The big networks run all of it. You can get away with a snippet here and there, but real journalism is dead and you're not reporting truth, sorry. The big networks are all owned by the same groups who own your tiny networks. And good luck renewing your FCC license without their "insight". I think it was a local station near where I live in recent years that renewed its license, hired DEI reporters, went full on Soros and to this day it's just an echo chamber for CBS and the rest.

    You do see that I'm not disagreeing with you about advertising, right? Just how it all works, really. You see money coming in, but at the big network level it's all the same corporations funneling money to each other. In essence, these stations become money laundering tools in a way. At a local level, Mom and Pops refrigeration service can advertise and everybody is happy -this is not what I'm talking about. At a local level, the small station very much do require funding and it's just like you said. But these smaller stations are still being gobbled up by the big dogs.


    This is what I'm talking about. Clayton and Natalie also worked in the corporate media realm. I trust their insight.
