Ben Shapiro, author of "Primetime Propaganda: The True Hollywood Story of How the Left Took Over Your TV", Chronicles TV's Liberal Propaganda Efforts

Carolina Journal  " “For now at least, the industry remains one-sided, with creators and executives ignoring the market data,” Shapiro writes. “Flipping the channel has become like voting in Cuba. You can do it, but your preference isn’t going to make much of a difference when the choices are all the same.”

"There’s another irony. While television screams “censorship” when government protests violent and sexual content, the industry sure doesn’t mind kowtowing to government when there’s a politically favorable (i.e. Democratic) administration in charge.

"Think about it: Unlike motion pictures, television has been dependent on the government since its inception due to its use of public airwaves. Thus it’s only natural that television executives would develop relationships with government to ensure political favoritism. As Shapiro notes, the “patented Hollywood-D.C back-scratch” became “an intensely common phenomenon during the Obama administration.” "


NRO; Switching TV to the Right   "...I can guarantee that if you watch anything other than Fox News, you’ve felt the Left’s ideological magnet tugging at your heartstrings. Virtually every major television comedy and drama of the last 40-odd years has been biased to the left, and the creators of the shows admitted as much to me."


Sesame Street's pinko puppets brainwash our kids; That's the claim by a right-wing* author who says he's exposed a left-wing plot behind some top TV shows.
Again, the condescending label. Do they refer to David Letterman as a "left-wing" TV host?

Ben Shapiro as
 depicted in liberal sites

Reuters; TV executives confirm Hollywood's liberal agenda  " "I played on their stereotypes. When I showed up for the interviews, I wore my Harvard Law baseball cap -- my name is Ben Shapiro and I attended Harvard, so there's a 98.7 percent chance I'm a liberal. Except I happen not to be."  

" "My whole book is a plea for openness in the industry," he added. "Hire people from the other side of the aisle once in a while, or at least stop mocking them." "

CIA: Did you mean these documents?

Hot Air  "Lost amid the hilarity of watching Senator Dianne Feinstein do a Cory Booker impersonation by denying she meant what she said about White House leaks wasanother, and perhaps more significant, retraction.  The Department of Justice had to file a motion admitting that the CIA had found numerous documents that should have been released in a Freedom of Information Act request from Judicial Watch about White House interaction with filmmakers producing a movie about the killing of Osama bin Laden:"

The Central Intelligence Agency recently discovered a “4 to 5 inch stack” of documents that relate to the spy agency’s cooperation with the makers of a forthcoming Hollywood film on the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, according to a new court filing. More...

Judicial Watch Obtains DOD and CIA Records Detailing Meetings with bin Laden Raid Filmmakers   "Judicial Watch, the organization that investigates and fights government corruption, announced today that it has obtained records from the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) regarding meetings and communications between government agencies and Kathryn Bigelow, Academy Award-winning director of The Hurt Locker, and screenwriter Mark Boal.  According to the records, the Obama Defense Department granted Bigelow and Boal access to a “planner, Operator and Commander of SEAL Team Six,” which was responsible for the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden, to assist Bigelow prepare her upcoming feature film."

Over the Edge

Neal Boortz  "Obama is getting irritable.  Something has gotten under his skin.  And do you know what it is?  It is the fact that Americans have seen the true Obama, and they don’t like it.  Obama has been exposed – and he has nobody to blame.  He stood in front of the American people and opened his robe … and the American people didn’t like what they saw.  Dear Ruler isn’t very happy."
....Mitt Romney has decided to respond to the ObamaMedia and Obama propaganda team criticism that he is taking Obama’s words out of context.  See what you think about this response …

“The context, he says, you know, you think you’ve been successful because you’re smart, but he says a lot of people are smart. You think you’ve been successful because you work hard, a lot of people work hard. This is an ideology which says hey, we’re all the same here, we ought to take from all and give to one another and that achievement, individual initiative and risk-taking and success are not to be rewarded as they have in the past.  It’s a very strange and in some respects foreign to the American experience type of philosophy.”

Not bad, however Obama's media had a different outlook on Romney's response:

NBC's Mitchell Rants: Romney Using 'Dog Whistle' Language Against Obama  "On her 1 p.m. et hour show on MSNBC on Tuesday, host and NBC chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell decried Mitt Romney labeling President Obama's big-government philosophy "foreign" to American capitalism: " "

Obscurity: No Crueler Punishment!

Ann Coulter  "The eternally fascinating question about mass murder is never the means. It is the psychosis behind the desire to do it. We don't need to know details about the guns, booby traps, bombs or fire starters. There will always be a way to commit mass murder. We want to know why.

"But that is precisely the information these grandstanders in the media seek to withhold from the public with the pompous justification that they don't want to give the presumed killer attention. For once, the media could deliver information that is both fascinating and potentially useful: What created James Holmes?

"But many in the media have taken it on themselves to censor the news as their personal act of retaliation. Not making James Holmes famous -- even famously evil -- is what people who make their living on TV see as the cruelest punishment they can inflict."

Tom Donilon named as source of those White House leaks

Foreign Policy;  Romney advisor accuses Donilon of leaking to the New York Times
I predict firings, but expect to see smaller fish to falling on their swords, protecting Obama.

Donilon

"A top advisor to Mitt Romney's campaign on Wednesday accused U.S. National Security Advisor Tom Donilon of leaking classified intelligence information to New York Timesreporter David Sanger.  

"The advisor, former George W. Bush envoy to Sudan Richard Williamson, was speaking during a debate at Washington's Brookings Institution with former senior Pentagon official Michèle Flournoy, who has emerged as one of PresidentBarack Obama's top foreign-policy surrogates on the campaign trail." (emphases in the original)

This was posted by someone about Donilon in Wikipedia:

Donilon worked as assistant secretary of state for public affairs and has served as the Clinton administration's Secretary of State chief of staff. Although he has no military experience and worked as a lobbyist, Donilon was "intimately involved in many major foreign policy issues, including negotiating the Bosnian peace agreement and the expansion of NATO". Donilon figures prominently during formulation of strategy for Afghanistan and associated discussions in Bob Woodward's 2010 book, "Obama's Wars."Donilon was 'criticized' by General Jones who once disparaged Donilon, for his lack of overseas experience, telling him that as a result: "You have no credibility with the military," according to Bob Woodward's "Obama's Wars." Jones said that Donilon was not good in his dealings with his staff at the National Security Council, displaying "too little feel for the people who work day and night....". Donilon did visit Afghanistan March 2010 during President Obama's six-hour late-night visit to the country.

Breitbart TV; Pat Caddell explains that he is certain Donilon is the source of the leaks because of his background as a political operative and a known "leaker".

Hannity; National Security adviser Tom Donilon the White House leaker in chief?

Yahoo News; Naming Donilon as Possible White House Leak is Important  "All of this adds up to questioning the type of people President Obama has surrounded himself with. .... By naming Donilon as someone who could be connected to the leaks... so the president will have to fight a war on another front and spread his talking time thinner."

2010, Daily Beast prophesied: Donilon: More Feared Than Loved  "According to Bob Woodward’s new book, Obama's Wars, Gates told General Jones that Donilon would be a “disaster” as national security adviser."

Nation of Islam can open a restaurant in Chicago, but not Chick-fil-A?

Legal Insurrection  "The Mayors of Boston and Chicago are bullies in the truest sense, they have selected what to them seems like a safe target for their outrage and abuse of government power.

"Menino and Emanuel have selected evangelical Christians for their selective bullying knowing full well that in Boston and Chicago there will be no repercussions.  Yet they will not take on more powerful groups who espouse far worse views on homosexuality and gay marriage."


Farrakhan takes Obama to the woodshed in this sermon:

"Michael Graham (h/t DaTechGuy) points out that Menino’s litmus test doesn’t apply equally to all religious beliefs, Mayor Menino Donated Tax Dollars To “Homophobic” Group In Boston!:"

This is the Islamic Society of Boston’s mosque in Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood, a.k.a. “Menino’s Mosque.

Mayor Menino “sold” $2 million worth of city property to the ISB for $175,000,despite their well-documented links to Muslim extremism.  The mosque teaches a form of Islam that condemns homosexuals to death.

And Menino won’t let a guy spend his own money opening a restaurant because he doesn’t support same-sex marriage? Hey, Mayor Moron—when we the last time Chick-Fil-A stoned a gay guy to death?

Rick Moran; Rahmbo: 'Chick-fil-a values not Chicago values'  "Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy holds fairly mainstream religious views on the subject of gay marriage so what he is being punished for is standing up for his faith. This means he has more integrity in his little finger than Rahm Emanuel and his allies in the City Council have put together."
"For Emauel to talk about "values" is a sick joke. And if he shares the values of rabid racist Farrakahn, or cynically ignores them, he is an unprincipled lout compared to Mr. Cathy."

Tactics that liberals use to fight Chick-fil-A

Boston.com; Menino shouldn’t block Chick-fil-A because of president’s views
"But using the power of government to freeze the company out of a city sends a disturbing message to all businesses. If the mayor of a conservative town tried to keep out gay-friendly Starbucks or Apple, it would be an outrage."

Our president fully supports small businesses

"Swiftquoted"! I love that word!

OLYMPIC INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZING COMMITTEE DID HOLD A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR BOSNIAN MUSLIMS, BUT WON'T DO IT FOR JEWS MURDERED BY MUSLIM TERRORISTS

One of two helicopters filled with bound Israeli
 athletes that was destroyed by Arab Muslims

Atlas Shrugs

The Obama administration supports it. So does Mitt Romney. The "it" in question is a moment of silence for the Israeli victims of a Palestinian terrorist organization called Black September at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Eleven members of the Israeli team were murdered. An online petition calling for a minute of silence also exists.

But IOC president Jacques Rogge sees it differently. He's adamantly resisting a formal moment of silence at the opening ceremony of the London Games this Friday: "We feel that the opening ceremony is an atmosphere that is not fit to remember such a tragic incident." When it comes to the Jews, the IOC curls into a fetal ball—as the Boston Globe points out, it has not resisted ceremonies for Bosnia or the victims of 9/11. But Munich is taboo.

The Great Green Waste; if the public is ignorant and faddish our government will be ignorant and faddish

Watching the Greens Kill Australia   "An Australia friend of mine recently wrote to say “the Australian carbon dioxide tax—or as our lying government calls it ‘price on carbon’—came into effect on July 1, 2012. Already our electricity prices have risen by up to 20%, refrigerant gas gone up 300%. Landfill and tip fees have increased by 30%, food is up. The tax has been imposed on EVERY item we buy in some form or other”, adding that “I wouldn’t be surprised if you get a similar tax if Obama wins in November. We are slowly destroying our economy.”  Alan Caruba


Heritage; The Green Graveyard of Taxpayer-Funded Failures  "These green government “investments” take from one (by taxing or borrowing) and give to another, but they merely move money around. They do not create jobs. They send labor and resources to areas of the economy where they are wasted. Proponents of special financing and tax credits for solar companies claim that these benefits will pay for themselves down the line—but when the companies receiving them are going bankrupt, that is highly unlikely."
...."Kate Adams, a member of Heritage’s Young Leaders Program, and Heritage’s Rachael Slobodien compiled a list of the 12 members of the Green Graveyard—companies that received taxpayer money for green initiatives yet have filed for bankruptcy."

And those companies are...
