Imagine a group of activists so powerful that they could beam their propaganda directly into your brain.

Now also imagine that they're so sophisticated they actually get you to pay them to do it.

Unfortunately you don't have to imagine it. It's real. It's Hollywood.

As big as the internet has become, Hollywood, and here I'm talking specifically about television, is still king.

Not only does it reach hundreds of millions of people with its messaging, it embeds that messaging in seemingly innocuous stories.

Stories that distract us from the hardships of daily life, stories that make us feel good, compassionate, and decent.

We watch TV in other words, because we like it.

And just as Americans didn't think much about the carcinogens and the cigarettes they smoked for decades,

most Americans don't think much about the toxic politics in the television they watch.

But those who create that content do.

They spend out hour after hour of slickly produced left-wing propaganda and they give themselves awards for doing it.

They applaud each other's courage, even though all their friends think exactly as they do.

I spoke with nearly a hundred members of the Hollywood community when I wrote my book Primetime Propaganda.

And many of them openly admitted they inserted social justice messages into their shows.

How they do it is both clever and effective.

Hollywood writers, producers, directors, actors create characters we keep wanting to spend time with.

Then have those characters act in ways most of us would judge wrong.

Then in effect they ask us a question.

Isn't it really okay that Rachel from Friends decided to have a baby without first marrying Ross?

After all, you like Ross and you like Rachel.

How can what they do be bad?

It hasn't always been this way.
