GLADD Pushes Gay Agenda

GLADD, the propaganda arm of the LBGT community, is stepping up its campaign to have more LBGT characters portrayed on television and in the movies. GLADD originally insisted Hollywood make one of every 10 characters LBGT in films and TV programs. Hollywood has now met that goal, so GLADD is raising the bar and insisting one of every five characters be LBGT — even though the LBGT community represents less than 5 percent of the American public. More from Vince James of The Red Elephants, who touches upon how even Chick-Fil-A is caving to these demands.

Needless to say, there’s mounting evidence that Hollywood has gone too far in trying to appease GLADD. Many of the films released over the past year that pushed a progressive message failed miserably at the box office. Likewise, the public is tuning out TV shows that are message-oriented.

Batwoman, Ocean’s 8, Ghostbusters, Terminator: Dark Fate... the list can go on and on. These woke installments of huge franchises have continuously underperformed. Is it true, as they claim, that these productions have failed because of a bigoted audience? Or alternatively, is this just bad writing combined with Hollywood’s insistence on shoving their social justice worldview down our throats? More from Lauren Chen at The Blaze, who has titled her video Get Woke, Go Broke.

Journalists In State Of Panic

Journalists are panicking after passage of a new California law that appears to make freelance writing impossible to do. “Everybody is freaking out,” says Tim Pool. No doubt, the law will get fixed over time. But the mess could last awhile. Liberals have never been especially practical or concerned about the people over whom they run roughshod. Perhaps it’s poetic justice,though, to see journalists bear the brunt of Liberal shenanigans.

Vincent James of The Red Elephants discusses the continuing drive by YouTube to quash or even outright ban conservative channels. Not only has The Red Elephants been kicked off the platform for a period of time, but also: Owen Benjamin, Know More News, Red Ice TV, Sinatra Says, Brother Nathanael, Lift the Veil, Jake Morphonios, even Steven Crowder for a spell. Most have eventually resurfaced on YouTube, although the constant censorship struggles have left many of us to do our searching these days on alternate sites. We primarily use Bitchute,while some prefer Gab, Rumble or Minds.

Meanwhile, Verizon has been seeking to sell off the Huffington Post, a move which will likely result in layoffs regardless of the result. The company is seeking to slim down its digital media business at a time when many media companies are facing shortfalls, budget cuts, and layoffs.

CNN, VICE, BuzzFeed, Verizon, Disney and more have faced declining viewership, ratings and revenues for the past few years. This is just another trend is the downfall of leftist and far left digital media. At the same time, conservative media seems to be seeing a resurgence with Fox News doing particularly well in growth and ratings.

This all follows a trend of companies basically following “get woke go broke” as a business plan. Vice, for instance, used to be edgy and taboo but now follows the establishment political orthodoxy. Not too long after getting woke they started to go broke. Vice News sadly has merged with Viceland after being canceled on HBO.  More from Tim Pool.

 

Get Woke, Eat Folk

Behavioral scientist Magnus Söderlund, appearing on Swedish state TV, says to combat climate and deal with the looming food scarcity, we need to overcome the “conservative taboo” against eating human flesh. Even if you’re reluctant to taste your neighbor, he says you could become accustomed to cannibalism little by little.

Söderlund claims that only selfishness makes us reluctant to eat one another, but as an expert in behaviors he believes people can be “tricked” into “making the right decisions.” Is this “Get woke, eat folk” sensibility just the latest example of climate change scare tactics aimed at forcing government action?

Anti-Trump Celebrities Get Woke

Olivia Wilde issued some snide tweets last year urging Trump supporters not to attend her movies. Well, now she has a new film out, that she directed no less, and it’s tanking horribly at the box office, even though critics are giving it high marks.

Just goes to show the asshole celebrities in Hollywood: Keep your political views to yourself or at least acknowledge that others have as much right to hold differing viewpoints. Otherwise, more of you idiots will find yourselves getting woke, but going broke! More from Tim Pool.

It’s not just celebrities getting woke and going broke. . Controversy erupted a few months ago when it was announced that a far left activist who resigned from her job at the New Yorker would be teaching a journalism course at NYU. However, the class has now been canceled because only two people enrolled. As they say, Get Woke Go Broke.

These schools and companies think people want this woke leftist social justice activism but in reality they don’t. Not only that, Talia Lavin who was set to teach was a disgraced former fact checker. Why have someone who failed teach?

Other news in journalism getting woke and going broke is the Vox union demanding more from their employer while the company seeks to reduce costs. Even Vox writers presume their company’s value is decreasing but as so often happens, a collapsing company can’t pay workers well so workers revolt, causing more harm to the company. Media layoffs would likely come soon if this story follows trends in media.

When these media companies decided to embrace woke politics they chased themselves off a cliff they can’t recover from. In order to stay alive they begin producing fake news and biased nonsense. More from Tim Pool.

One final update from Tim Pool. The Liberal bias is so severe on CNN and MSNBC that the New York Times is now forbidding its reporters to appear on the worst of those networks’ shows, including Rachel Maddow’s newcasts on MSNBC. Also deemed too partisan: Don Lemon and Lawrence O’Donnell.

Says Pool, “CNN and MSNBC have gone so far off the rails that now the NYT is worried that if any of their staff appears on the show they will be accused of partisan bias. While this has always been true of Fox News, many leftists and far left activists claim that only Fox News is biased but now we can see that the polarization is getting worse and MSNBC and CNN are being treated exactly the same.”

Alphabet Takes a Bath

Alphabet — the parent company of Google — has suffered a whooping $70 billion dollar shortfall. A major cause for the deficit: All the screwball YouTube policies aimed at censoring conservatives! So YouTube got woke and then went broke. The lion’s share of the losses occurred Tuesday, when shares of Alphabet plunged 8 percent, shrinking the size of Google’s parent company by around $70 billion to $831 billion.

Good to see Google experiencing such turbulence after all the trouble they have given conservatives — banning our sites, demonetizing or discarding videos, acting like Liberal jerks rather than operating a legitimate social media platform. Hopefully, Google will revise its ugly policies, but we doubt it — they are truly a retarded company. More from Tim Pool.

Dustin Nemos says censorship sure is expensive. Has Google learned its lesson yet? Probably not.

Get Woke, Go Broke

A feminist cafe decided to charge men an extra 18 percent on all sales, ostensibly to underscore the cost of the gender gap. But, now, just over a year later, the same Australian cafe is going broke and closing up shop. That’s belly-up! Tom Pool says the lesson is easy: Overcharge men and you’ll face bankruptcy.
