The Funky Academic: How The Pentagon Controls Hollywood

Рет қаралды 83,271

3 жыл бұрын

Doctoral student, Irami Osei-Frimpong, weighs in reporting alleging that the FBI and DOD have vetted Hollywood films prior to their release.
About Rising:
Rising is a weekday morning show with bipartisan hosts that breaks the mold of morning TV by taking viewers inside the halls of Washington power like never before. The show leans into the day's political cycle with cutting edge analysis from DC insiders who can predict what is going to happen. It also sets the day's political agenda by breaking exclusive news with a team of scoop-driven reporters and demanding answers during interviews with the country's most important political newsmakers.

He made great use of them, tho, no? Very quickly he drew my attention to a large array of problems that exist within both the entertainment industry & the DoD... & how them being in bed together could ONLY create problems/propaganda. I knew A relationship existed (& that Hollywood has to play nice w/govt entities to get their permits, licenses, sometimes tax credits, etc...) I just did NOT realize to what extent. Like, I wasn't even close.

@Derrick Blanton I bet they have a full staff getting hourly pay and a set budget. Camera crew, lighting, makeup, catering, etc... Also, Funky Academic is a regular, so he probably has a contract with the Hill to provide a certain amount of content per month, if he goes over, they may have to pay more. Who knows?... I do know that shows like this have a set budget, as opposed to a free form podcast with one or two people running everything.

@desiree2654 3 жыл бұрын

@Derrick Blanton Absolutely agree! My guess would be because, unfortunately, Rising is under a corporation. And sure Spotify is a corporation but aside from music their structure for podcasts is not in line with a daily news show as rising. Nonetheless, Rising is abandoning a fabulous opportunity for it's viewers.

@rustatum2382 3 жыл бұрын

@Derrick Blanton unfortunately, Americans subconsciously equate big budget with authenticity. It's not just boomers, I even know millennials with masters degrees who assume all youtube news shows are Alex Jones type conspiracy, and stupidly trust CNN and MSNBC. Rising has found a good balance of corporate funding, but a little more freedom to speak against the corporate hegemony that controls the dialog on cable news. The Hill is far from perfect, but I understand how the pseudo professional facade gives it a legit appeal for the cable news sheep.

@@christianhernandez5928 I don’t know of the gaming industry but there is a Hollywood director, Chris Fenton, who has come out and acknowledged that the movie industry changes movies to suit China. I think it was the Marvel movies where he talked about removing the black actor on the China posters and other things they were/were not allowed to do and had to write script around. You can find his interview on KZfaq. He was all for it originally because he realized how much profit they could make for the media companies with having China viewers, but realized over time it was at great expense. I am sure he is not well liked in Hollywood. You might have to put your partisan hat aside if you have one because I think the only person willing to interview him is from a conservative news outlet, from my recall. It was an interesting interview and seemed sincere.

LOL. I was just thinking about this during the end of Falcon and Winter Soldier. No spoilers but you know what im talking about if you seen the speech at the end.
