Hollywood and the CIA et al
Hollywood enlists in Bush’s war drive
http://www.wsws.org/articles/2001/nov2001/holl-n19.shtm...

puts it this way:

""On November 11 (2001) more than forty top Hollywood executives met for two hours with Karl Rove, George W. Bush’s chief political advisor, to discuss ways in which the film industry could contribute to the “war on terrorism.” Here truly was a meeting of great minds!""

What shows, TV and otherwise, have resulted since then ? DUers have any ideas ?

1. 1 tv movie, several cancelled shows, failed pilots, and a lot of laughter.

I'd love to see the list of these "top" executives. If they're claiming that Chetwynd propagandist guy is a top exec, i'll die laughing. Or however you spell his name.

2. I saw various storylines on NCIS
Such as one where spying domestically on protest groups was taken for granted. Bellisario productions appears to have this bias (also did the JAG shows). Not bad shows though, I watch all the time, just couldn't believe they were having clean cut Mark Harmon's character so cavalier about trashing official procedure.

The Constitution is just paper to them it seems.
