BFGW was conservative? Perhaps a little Windex will help you see more
clearly...

There was a book in ordinary bookstores called "An Empire of
Their Own". It was a pro-Jewish book but it showed that the Jews ran
Hollywood.

Here are some quotes from a magazine for Jews called "Moment".
It is subtitled "The Jewish magazine for the 90's" These quotes are
from the Aug 1996 edition after the Headline "Jews Run Hollywood - So
What?":

"It makes no sense at all to try to deny the reality of Jewish
power and prominence in popular culture. Any list of the most
influential production executives at each of the major movie studios
will produce a heavy majority of recognizably Jewish names."

"the famous Disney organization, which was founded by Walt
Disney, a gentile Midwesterner who allegedly harbored anti-Semetic
attitudes, now features Jewish personnel in nearly all its most
powerful positions."

The head of Walt Disney studios is now the Jew Michael Eisner.
On studios that were bought out by the Japanese the magazine says:

Yes, this movie review piece sure does point at rightwingers running
Hollywood, as opposed to Jews, right? Sounds like the same old liberal
rubbish to me.

Freedom Writers:

By Tom Charity
Special to CNN

(CNN) -- Movies about inspirational teachers never go out of style.

In the story's pivotal scene, Gruwell cracks down hard on a racist
caricature with a stern reference to the Holocaust -- until she
realizes that only one of her pupils (the white kid) understands what
she's talking about. Then, when she asks if anyone in the class has
lost a friend or loved one to gang violence, everyone's hand goes up
(except the white kid's).

By making them acknowledge their shared pain, Gruwell begins to break
down the racial divisions that have ghettoized the classroom, a process
that also involves them educating her about their lives. She assigns
two crucial books: "The Diary of Anne Frank" and their own blank
journal.

despite the fact that a lot of its market now goes international, why
do they have such a pro-american republican agenda? and its fall under
capitalist monopolies has, like television and other media, merely
accentuated the drift into further to the right directions. the
patriot, indiana jones, my big fat greek wedding, troy, alexander the
great are just outward about their rightard ideology. what seems to
permeate the entire hollywood scene, is a right wing notion of
entertainment at its fullest. los angeles plays itself, like in the
excellent documentary by thom anderson:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379357/

while tv has gone down paths predicted by the lumet of network or the
pollack of ''they shoot horses, don't they'', cinema is not far in its
recent masification into mutliplexes style. a good way to note how the
tide's changed would be to compare the old fun with dick and jane with
the considerably more tame and banal new one.

Daedalus conceived to escape from the Labyrinth with Icarus from Crete
by constructing wings and then flying to safety. He built the wings
from feathers and wax, and before the two set off he warned Icarus not
to fly too low lest his wings touch the waves and get wet, and not too
high lest the sun melt the wax. But the young Icarus, overwhelmed by
the thrill of flying, did not heed his father's warning, and flew too
close to the sun whereupon the wax in his wings melted and he fell into
the sea.

To escape, Daedalus built wings for himself and Icarus, fashioned with
feathers held together with wax. Daedalus warned his son not to fly too
close to the sun, as it would melt his wings, and not too close to the
sea, as it would dampen them and make it hard to fly.
