The Pentagon routinely screens Hollywood blockbusters to ensure the content does not offend the military, and makes suggestions to studio executives as to how to best portray the military. The government is constantly influencing media outlets, none of this is new.
- colordrops 4y agoLet me cut and paste my comment with a minor change: Why is the Pentagon spending tax payer dollars trying to influence media outlets at all? Do you not find this alarming? It's absolutely outside their realm of responsibility. What does being "new" have anything to do with whether it matters or not?
- Apocryphon 4y agoIt's not alarming because it's so pervasive it's the way things are. Thus when something new is brought up their impact needs to be weighed accordingly to prioritize.
- colordrops 4y agoGrowing up in a fascist regime may make it seem normal but at some point you need to raise your hackles and feel alarmed regardless of the past, because it's a fascist regime.
- Apocryphon 4y agoYes, and that's how I feel about the shutdown of the Z-Library, and their refusal to declassify their JFK files.
- colordrops 4y agoI don't disagree with you, and two things can be true at once.
- Apocryphon 4y agoThen we have consensus.
