Primetime Propaganda

Primetime Propaganda is the story of how left-leaning entertainment kingpins in Los Angeles and New York—including writers, producers, actors, and executives—have used television over the past sixty years to promote their liberal ideals, to push the envelope on social and political issues, to actively discriminate against their opponents on the right, and to shape America in their own leftist image.

In their own words, Hollywood’s insiders reveal how 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. Shapiro interviewed dozens of the industry’s biggest players, including Larry Gelbart (MAS*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 of Hollywood’s bias against conservatives, revealing that current shows often contain secret political messages. With this groundbreaking exposé, readers will never watch television the same way again.

Primetime Propaganda is the story 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, the conservative columnist and bestselling 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 to 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 (MAS*H), 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.
