Primetime Propaganda: The True Hollywood Story of How the Left Took Over Your TV

“Vitally important, devastatingly thorough, and shockingly revealing…. After reading Primetime Propaganda, you’ll never watch TV the same way again.”
—Mark Levin

Movie critic Michael Medved calls Ben Shapiro, “One of our most refreshing and insightful voices on the popular culture, as well as a conscience for his much-maligned generation.” With Primetime Propaganda, the syndicated columnist and bestselling author of Brainwashed, Porn Generation, and Project President tells the shocking true story of how the most powerful medium of mass communication in human history became a vehicle for spreading the radical agenda of the left side of the political spectrum. Similar to what Bernard Goldberg’s Bias and A Slobbering Love Affair did for the liberal news machine, Shapiro’s Primetime Propaganda is an essential exposé of corrupting media bias, pulling back the curtain on widespread and unrepentant abuses of the Hollywood entertainment industry.

Primetime Propaganda is the story of how television has been used over the past sixty years by Hollywood writers, producers, actors, and executives to promote their liberal ideals, to push the envelope on social and political issues, and to shape America in their own leftist image.

In this thoroughly researched and detailed history of the television industry, the conservative columnist and bestselling author Ben Shapiro argues that left-leaning entertainment kingpins in Los Angeles and New York have leveraged—and continue to use—their positions and power to push liberal messages and to promote the Democratic Party while actively discriminating against their opponents on the right. According to Shapiro, television isn't just about entertainment—it's an attempt to convince Americans that the social, economic, and foreign policy shaped by leftism is morally righteous.

But don't take his word for it. Shapiro interviewed more than one hundred of the industry's biggest players, including Larry Gelbart (M*A*S*H), Marta Kauffman (Friends), David Shore (House), and Mark Burnett (Survivor). Many of these insiders boast that not only is Hollywood biased against conservatives, but that many of the shows being broadcast have secret political messages. After reading this groundbreaking exposé, readers will never watch television the same way again.

Ben Shapiro’s “Primetime Propaganda” is vitally important, devastatingly thorough, and shockingly revealing. By going into the belly of the Tinseltown beast, Shapiro has done Americans a true service, exposing the Hollywood machine for what it is: a pawn of the Democratic Party, a corrupt bureaucracy dedicated to preserving its monopoly, and an out-of-touch group of leftists willing to use their entertainment as vehicles for their radical liberalism. After reading “Primetime Propaganda,” you’ll never watch TV the same way again -- it’s a must-buy, and a must-read. - Mark Levin

Ben Shapiro’s PRIMETIME PROPAGANDA will knock the Hollywood left on its heels. It turns out they’re spiking the popcorn with left-wing politics, which Shapiro establishes with interviews, anecdotes, and quotes from those in the position to know. Get deprogrammed: read Shapiro’s book--and wake up to what you’re watching. - Ann Coulter, author of GUILTY: Liberal Victims and Their Assault on America

PRIMETIME PROPAGANDA is brilliant, entertaining, and impeccably researched, proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Hollywood is indeed propagandizing on behalf of leftism and doing so with full intent. Ben Shapiro is a fabulous writer, and PRIMETIME PROPAGANDA is his most important book yet--perhaps the most incisive book ever written about the Tinseltown establishment. - David Limbaugh, author of CRIMES AGAINST LIBERTY

For forty years, Hollywood has pretended that left-wing McCarthyism does not exist in the television industry. In PRIMETIME PROPAGANDA, Ben Shapiro blows that lie apart, proving over and over again that Hollywood stole the American narrative and fights relentlessly to keep it their exculsive domain. Shapiro shows beyond a shadow of a doubt, using insiders’ own words, that Hollywood liberalism is a motivated ideological force bent on shoving its politics down America’s throat. - Andrew Breitbart, publisher of BIG HOLLYWOOD and author of HOLLYWOOD, INTERRUPTED
