They'll never admit to it openly, but getting woke makes companies broke. Hollywood has been overtly progressive for decades, but this is nothing compared to the social justice invasion since 2016. After around five years of an unprecedented leftist onslaught on the entertainment industry we are finally starting to see the rampage lose oxygen. There's a weakness within woke productions that the alternative media has been pointing out for a long time – They don't make a profit because they are designed to appease a minority of leftist zennials that don't have any money. This is the wrong crowd to rely on for cash flow. It is fair to say that

So called entertainment companies are identical to the fake media….unwatchable…one sided…

I have not watched network television for many years because of the leftward slant of the programs. Years ago I could see what was happening even in such programs as DESIGNING WOMEN. I watch football on the networks, major golf tournaments and Tour de France. That's it including news broadcasts and even weather reports (global warming non stop). The local affiliates like in LA are simply crime blotters or on the weekend a report on a 15k meter charity race for homosexual pride events. I get what I need from the internet. CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, NBC etc., etc...are now just memories. FOX? Nope, they helped the Democrats steal the election. (Remember the early call of Arizona?)

I cut the cable years ago. I have some streaming services and mostly watch older movies, older non-woke TV shows and cooking shows. I've been to three movies in the past 3 years. If woke comes on a show I'm watching, I turn it off immediately.

People want entertainment. They do not want to be preached to by unlikable characters with contrived stories about how oppressed they are all day every day. We are supposed to learn from their being virtues as oppressed minorities but are mostly annoyed by the fallacies of the world as they present it. Maybe the problem isn't us. Maybe it's them and their woke biased world view causing their problems.

Hollywood has been putting out trash for years. Once Hollywood added WOKE agenda to the trash, movie buffs had had enough. It will be a long time before they will return to the movies or watch stupid TV shows that promote an agenda not entertainment. The Democrats just put the final nail in the coffin. They just raised taxes on movie goers while it costs too much to pay for gas and the theater. No movie is worth the money or the extra cost to go.

Good. More companies need to stop catering to the mentally insane minority and they will make a lot more money.

I tried to watch the "Avengers - Endgame" last week on TV for a little something different. It was two hours of special effects with little or no plot. Wouldn't you know it that the Black Panther and his accomplices made an appearance all the way from Wakanda. They were never a part of the Avengers group. The coup de grace was when an aging Captain America turned his shield over to a black character after retiring. A Black Captain America? In this crime-ridden climate, that is very insulting but Hollywood got what they wanted. I hope they lost big money on this travesty.

Too late for me. I watch the old 60's shows they show on MeTV and that's about it. I dont want to be preached to or have perverts shoved down my throat as somehow virtuous. I dont want to see white male heroes replaced with women or minorities or sexual spastics just to fill a diversity square. It is a blatant attempt at pandering and beneath my dignity.

When you target a minority group in movies or advertisement what can be gained from leftist zennials who are broke anyway. The paying crowd exits telling you sell your entertainment to the minority to make a profit but not from me.
When I see a commercial target a race of people that I know would not use that product I say sell it to them I'm not your customer. Hollywood can't die fast enough for me.

Found a winner. On Amazon Prime. Called Clarkson's farm. Jeremy Clarkson is a car (gas) guy who has done magazines and TV shows on high performance top dollar cars. He has got himself a farm (in Britain) and the show is adventures in farming. For anybody who thinks farming is easy it's an eye opener. It's also very funny and entertaining. You have to watch the last episode for the punch line.

The coastals live in cities of 1, 2, 5 million people.
Everyone around them seems to agree with them.
So they make "product" that reflects their reality.
To great regional acclaim.
Completely oblivious to an non-regional effect.
That they are teaching 200 million other customers
to hate them.
Worse, that's just the domestic market.
Globally, deep, deep, deep, hatred for Hollywood...
That's why Chinese and Middle Eastern releases have to be censored.

The last sentence of the article says it all. Those companies can purge all they want but most of us are NEVER going back. And it’s not just the media and entertainment; it’s jewelers who advertise same sex engagement rings, candy companies which produce LGBT M&Ms, candy companies which make Halal chocolate Easter eggs (yes, it’s true!), companies which call us racists, and on and on and on.
I haven’t watched television since the late 90s and the last movie I saw in a theater was the last Downton Abbey which was made in the UK. Read a book instead!

It doesn't end with the shows either. The commercials are just as bad, and sometimes even worse. I stopped watching network shows years ago for the most part simply because they've become so boring and predictable. Even watching Tucker or Ingram becomes tedious on some nights. I get tired of the harping on everything D.C. Some nights, a nuke strike on D.C. would be good news.

I used to never miss a episode of "NCIS". And then the spinoff "NCIS:LA" came along...it was initially pretty good. And then "NCIS: New Orleans", also, good actors, good scripts.
Then they got rid of the wonderful Zoe McLellan, and replaced here with an obnoxious NYC lesbian. That was the end of that show for me.
NCIS:Los Angeles has been replacing all the white characters with blacks, and Muslim and the story lines have been going leftist steadily. I won't be watching any more of that.
NCIS....the original, white actors replaced with black or brown, more and more. and I still watch but don't really care too much if I miss one. Soon, I won't even bother.
Racism, leftist and homosexual themes.....no thanks. Not going to watch.
Drop dead.

I watch reruns of old TV shows, and when those aren't on, I go visit my stash of DVDs. Yeah, I've seen them many times, but they still beat woke TV.
