And so, for the most part, what we’ve seen from the corrupt MSM since the release of “Primetime Propaganda” is Sesame Street, Sesame Street, Sesame Street… Or equally dismissive headlines that snark something along the lines of: “Hollywood Liberals Admit Liberals Run Hollywood.” Pushing a one-sided political agenda over the public airwaves is not a story. Some of the biggest names in television admitting conservatives are belittled and discriminated against … not a story.

Instead…

Two pages about Sesame Street are isolated and mocked — two pages out of a 355 page work that contains literally dozens of explosive interviews with some of television’s biggest names. Here’s the latest example:

—–

Is it just me, or is Martin Bashir a “Saturday Night Live” character who doesn’t know he’s a “Saturday Night Live” character?  Did he really say Fox News?

But Bashir is not alone with the nonsense. Here’s a peek at how journOlism works.

When something arrives on the scene that’s inconvenient to the MSM’s worldview — whether it’s “Primetime Propaganda” or Sarah Palin – the MSM seizes control of the narrative by focusing on whatever they can to make this inconvenience sound ridiculous, evil, stupid, racist or worse. Alinsky 101. This way, instead of writing proper headlines about top execs admitting conservatives have a harder time getting work in television based on the kind of open ideological discrimination Big Hollywood’s been calling attention to and documenting for over two years now, they can make it sound as though Shapiro’s book is some crazy right-wing attack on Big Bird. 

Not only has Shapiro documented dozens of audio interviews that prove Leftists at every level of scripted television have hijacked the public airwaves for their own political purposes, he also makes a revelatory case that network execs have been lying to advertisers for years about which age-demographic television shows should appeal to. According to Shapiro’s research, it’s not the young, liberal, 18-49 crowd who have the most purchasing power in this country, it’s the older more conservative, retired types. But liberal artists and television execs want to make liberal shows so they flim-flam advertisers into believing their money is best spent attracting young viewers who desire cutting edge, left-leaning programming.

See how that works?

If that’s true, that revelation would not only be one of the biggest entertainment stories of the year, it would be one of the biggest and most successful con-jobs in business history.

But the MSM isn’t interested in whether or not that’s true. In fact, they’re probably afraid that it is. So … Sesame Street.

Finally, I want to congratulate Ben on his superb work and urge you to pick up a copy of “Primetime Propaganda.” You’re also going to be hearing a lot more about it on Big Hollywood in the coming weeks.

It’s not as though we didn’t expect to have to do the MSM’s job for them.

Michael Jackson (left) and Marc Schaffel (right) seen in photo with Warren Beatty (center)

When this scandal was exposed (but underplayed by the dysfunctional and enabling mainstream media), Schaffel was shown the door and Jackson’s people issued a press release acknowledging the impropriety of the situation but claimed not to have known of Schaffel’s mystifyingly inappropriate background — especially given the accusations against Jackson and his continued desire to present himself as a kid-at-heart.

Here is the statement by Jackson spokesman Dan Klores in July, 2002:

“The minute Michael and his advisers found out about Schaffel’s background, they cut the cord immediately. This was months ago. (Schaffel) has nothing to do with Michael Jackson, doesn’t represent him in any way, shape or form, and has been told this repeatedly by Michael’s attorneys.”

Well, a year later, Schaffel was back at Neverland and again acting as Jackson’s personal videographer who chronicled the taping of the famous Martin Bashir BBC documentary that later appeared on ABC in the U.S., which centered around two young brothers hanging with Jackson and Schaffel as their ‘chaperones’ at the creepy amusement park cum bachelor pad.

Why did Michael Jackson bring back the gay porno producer to use a video camera to oversee kid trips to Neverland AFTER it was admitted by Jackson’s own people the Jackson/Schaffel alliance was blatantly improper?

And why did the media drop the ball in playing up this massive scandal? Parents had an obligation to know they were sending their kids to a ferris wheel controlled by an accused molester who hung out only with young boys (as Howard Stern has said, “Where are the young girls?”) and his gay pornographer pal.

Mark Ebner and I covered this grotesque scenario extensively in our book, Hollywood, Interrupted.

I’m sorry. When Jackson didn’t fight charges of molestation and then paid a person off to the tune of millions, and later put children in the proximity of a guy whose day job was trying to find young-looking male porn stars in eastern Europe (you don’t want to see Schaffel’s casting call videos — I have!) — Michael Jackson exposed himself as a dangerous man and sick predator whose only mitigating excuse is that he was enabled by sick family and business associates and an even sicker mainstream press.

I feel mildly sorry that Michael Jackson is dead because to a great extent our overly popular culture influenced society contributed to making him the monster he was when he died. May he rest in heat.
