Everyone Has an Agenda

Everyone has an agenda these days.  It's pretty disgusting.  And the worst part is that most of the entertainment industry is Democrat, so the country is not receiving an equal amount of agenda-driven media.

When I arrived home from work today, my wife was finishing an episode of Catfish on MTV.  As I began to play with my 8 month old son, the show "Faking It" began on MTV.  Only halfway listening to it in the background, I could already tell how agenda-driven this show is.  I mentioned to my wife that I guaranteed this show was not only going to be pro-gay, but it was also going to be anti-Republican.  In the very next scene, the main character (who is faking being a lesbian) says she doesn't want her "Republican mother to find out."  Needless to say, the mother was speechless and devastated that her daughter was a lesbian.

I'm a huge fan of scary movies.  Last year, my wife and I went to see "The Purge" in theaters on opening night.  As blatantly as possible, The Purge portrayed the right wing (more specifically the Tea Party, NRA, and Sarah Palin) as gun-loving, poor-hating murderers.  It didn't even attempt to hide it's agenda-driven message. 

On the flip side, Hollywood is presented with a "based on a true story" horror movie called "Gosnell".  This man was literally convicted of murdering seven children and one adult.  He is a modern day serial killer that would make a great Hollywood horror flick.  So what's the catch?  Gosnell was an abortion doctor.  Not only was this movie not picked up in Hollywood, but the media actively tried to cover up and block funding for a movie that doesn't support their agenda.  The movie ended up successfully raising 2.1 million dollars via the crowd-funding site, Indie Go-Go.

So what is the difference in the left-dominated media of today, and the propaganda of the Nazi Germany era?  Obviously left-dominated media isn't trying to create a superior race, but they are trying to keep the oppositions ideas from spreading.  They are trying to spread their ideas by making sure their message is louder and more frequent than anyone else's.  

The point of this article is to make people realize that agenda-free media is hard to find.  Not enough people in our country are given the opportunity to decide for themselves what they think is right and wrong.  If you're told to think a certain way enough times, eventually it sinks in.  In an ideal society, everyone would decide for themselves what they believe in, and the best, most popular ideas would succeed.  Unfortunately, too often the loudest ideas are what drive America.
