Comedians were under fire before the first Oscar got handed out Sunday. Comedians like Joe Rogan and Dave Chappelle have endured vicious Cancel Culture attacks for their material. They’re the biggest podcaster and stand-up in the country, respectively. If they’re worried about the next joke they tell, or what information they share, what do their less successful peers think when they’re writing their material?

The latest clue that Oscar producers are out of touch with the viewing audience? The Academy chose a trio of “stars” to host this year’s gala – Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall. Two of the three are aggressively partisan, telling heartland viewers this year’s show will be as progressive as the past…Imagine if the Oscars invited Ricky Gervais, Dave Chappelle or Joe Rogan to host the show. The ratings would leap dramatically.

HBO’s “Game Theory with Bomani Jones” show reveals the format’s extreme lack of thought diversity…Jones is a progressive journalist, full stop. Earlier this year, he played the race card against the NFL. Jones, commenting on Brian Flores’ lawsuit against the NFL citing discriminatory behavior, said the problem is due to “white people.”

After all the dubious accusations, after the HBO documentary, after Ronan Farrow and the #MeToo assassination movement’s collapse, after all this time, is it possible that filmmaker Woody Allen didn’t molest his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow? Legendary character actor Wallace Shawn thinks so.

The Oscars ceremony is like a DNC event, filled with one-sided rhetoric alienating half the country. And it worked. The ratings sink dramatically almost every year, and few would suggest the March 27 gala will be different. Seeing two stars mock the ceremony this week is the one-two punch a fading institution didn’t need. The week offered one more blow to Team Oscar.

The hero of the series, Jack Reacher, exudes machismo, a swagger the story isn’t interested in deflating. And the word “toxic” isn’t attached to that description.

The feature film about January 6 project has all the earmarks of another Hollywood hit piece … on steroids…. Progressive propagandist Adam McKay will produce the project which intends to prevent Donald Trump from securing a second term in office and double down on the media’s false framing over the riots.

It’s author Christian Toto’s primal scream against a trend that has infiltrated every aspect of our lives but reared its head in unique ways in La La Land including: casting via identity politics, woke comedy restrictions, hostage-style apologies and the unwatchable Oscars.

Michael Moore, you’ve got company. The left-leaning world of documentary films is getting some serious challengers of late. Think “No Safe Spaces,” and other titles that challenge the genre’s liberal orthodoxy. Now, it’s The Federalist’s turn. The news site leans to the Right, and it’s telling a powerful true story about parents gone wild via the documentary format.

“Being the Ricardos” examines how Ball, her industrious beau Desi Arnaz and the minds behind “Lucy,” ran head first into the Blacklist. Yes, it’s Hollywood’s favorite narrative, and it gives “Ricardos” its sense of danger. And, of course, the film stops to deliver messages about the sexism baked into 1950s America. Who saw that coming?

Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro may be top-tier podcasters, but that’s where the similarities end…And yet groups like Media Matters for America, a hard-Left outlet that tracks conservative personalities and  news sites, is stalking both.
