Hollywood has a long legacy of operating as a marionette for the
military-industrial complex and other reactionary causes, from attacking
labor unions to vilifying domestic dissent as unpatriotic and
communistic. Its engagement with right-wing causes is widely documented.
For example, it is no secret that the Hollywood film industry used
motion pictures as a propaganda weapon during World War I, World War II,
the Korean War and every American war since then. And who can forget
the lies told about Jessica Lynch in the two-star movie, "Saving Jessica
Lynch" made in 2003 at the height of the Iraq war. The movie was
pitched to the public as a true story, when in fact, it was pernicious mendacity falsely etched on celluloid.
