The inside story of how the most powerful medium of mass
communication in human history has become a propaganda tool
for the Left Primetime Propaganda is the story—told in their own words—of
how television has been used over the past sixty years by
Hollywood writers, producers, actors, and executives to
promote their liberal ideals, to push the envelope on social
and political issues, and to shape America in their own
leftist image. In this thoroughly researched and detailed history of the
television industry, conservative columnist and author Ben
Shapiro argues that left-leaning entertainment kingpins in
Los Angeles and New York have leveraged—and continue to
use—their positions and power to push liberal messages and
promote the Democratic Party while actively discriminating
against their opponents on the right. According to Shapiro,
television isn't just about entertainment—it's an attempt to
convince Americans that the social, economic, and foreign
policy shaped by leftism is morally righteous. But don't take his word for it. Shapiro interviewed more
than one hundred of the industry's biggest players,
including Larry Gelbart (M*A*S*H), Fred Silverman (former
president of ABC Entertainment, NBC, and vice president of
programming at CBS), Marta Kauffman (Friends), David Shore
(House), and Mark Burnett (Survivor). Many of these insiders
boast that not only is Hollywood biased against
conservatives, but that many of the shows being broadcast
have secret political messages. With this groundbreaking
exposÉ, readers will never watch television the same way again.
