In reply to the discussion: Hollywood execs may blacklist Cruz, Bardem for accusing Israel of 'genocide' [View all]reorg
(3,317 posts)10. Can you cite a single example, please

I mean, given that you delete news by RT even when the very same news, word for word, are being reported by Western news agencies and media you surely must have a rational reason for your hate?

LOULLA-MAE ELEFTHERIOU-SMITH Sunday 10 August 2014

The couple were among 100 film professionals to sign the open Spanish letter calling on the European Union to end Israels military operation in Gaza, along with director Pedro Almodovar in July.
But their actions have sparked anger in top Hollywood executives, which has reportedly called their careers in to question. One top exec told the Hollywood Reporter that he was "furious at Javier and Penelope" and queried whether he would want to work with the couple again.

You know he's probably the most liberal, progressive voice on American radio right now?
