ABC Covers Anti-War Actors By Playing Up Their “Punishment,” Not Their Errors or Radicalism
Peter’s Sympathy for Hollywood
Hypocrites
The war against Saddam Hussein may be over, but if you watch ABC, you might worry about the alleged oppressors still on the loose: President Bush and his supporters. On ABC last night, World News Tonight anchor Peter Jennings heavily promoted their final segment on how the successful Iraq war would end badly – at least for Hollywood radicals. Jennings promised: “When we come back this evening, being against the war and in show business. And the people who want to punish you for that.”
Jennings avoided tackling the issue that America’s vast pro-war majority might find interesting – how anti-war Hollywood actors were obviously incorrect in predicting doom, gloom, and repression “loosed by the Bush administration” – and instead reliably implied President Bush and his supporters were craven censors of courageous dissidents.
Reporter Jim Wooten reported on how anti-war entertainers like the Dixie Chicks have been boycotted by war supporters and how actor Tim Robbins and his wife Susan Sarandon have been cancelled from an appearance at the Baseball Hall of Fame.
He highlighted a Robbins speech at the National Press Club: “In Washington this week, Robbins criticized the political climate in which his right to express his views has come under attack.” Robbins was quoted: “Isn't what we're fighting for there, to spread democracy, to give the Iraqis the right to express their opinions in a public forum?”
Wooten did not notice the Robbins bait-and-switch. Robbins has routinely denied the war was fought in the name of democracy, and has signed his name to hyperbolic Bush-hating rhetoric casting the White House as a center of national and international oppression. ABC didn’t give viewers the flavor of Hollywood’s harshest anti-war invective.
For example, an ad signed by Robbins and others in the September 19, 2002 New York Times ludicrously declared the President was interested in creating an empire, not a democracy: “We are confronting a new openly imperial policy towards the world and a domestic policy that manufactures and manipulates fear to curtail rights.”
Wooten capped off his story by dragging out the Hollywood Left’s oldest bugaboo: “All this has reminded some of the McCarthy era's blacklists that barred those even accused of communist sympathies for working in films or on television. And actor Mike Farrell believes it could happen again.”
While ABC ached for Tim Robbins, who ached when Robbins led the boycotts? ABC found post-war boycotts a horror story of free speech under attack, but did not warn of the impending doom three years ago, when it was Robbins and other leftists organizing boycotts and blacklists. ABC gave Hollywood hypocrites a free ride.
In 2000, the Screen Actors Guild went on a long strike against advertisers, demanding higher residual payments for actors appearing in commercials. Not only did Robbins and his colleagues demand that everyone punish Procter & Gamble workers with a boycott, they were highly interested in punishing any actor who crossed the picket line.
When model-actress Elizabeth Hurley made an Estee Lauder ad, and then claimed she was unaware of the strike, Robbins was in a punitive mood, calling for Hurley to be punished, even banned from Hollywood. Hurley was eventually fined $100,000, not banned, but if she’d lost her SAG card, her acting career would have been ruined. Wooten didn’t have any time in his report last night for Tim Robbins’ attempt at Hollywood blacklisting. -- Tim Graham

Yeah, like we are supposed to be surprised.
The Hollywood crowd beat up on Quayle with a concentrated bust of invective. It virtually succeeded in tainting Quayle. It shattered his image (wrongly and unfairly). All the man did was to give an opinion.

He spoke freely.... The public responded...
It appears he doesns't approve of the response! Duh!!!!

It's not blacklisting, Mikey. It's result of any business disdaining the customer.
[Real] voters do it all the time (although, not in enough number, IMO) to politicians at election time.
Restaurants fail for reasons that include: snotty help, bad food, poor service.
Hollywood is feeling the heat from snotty [and talent-challenged] performers, and producing bad and over priced products.
