But not the honorable kind. They profit when the masses are poor. Hollywood was practically built during the depression. They know that poor people can't go places and do things and need cheap entertainment. So a poor America increases Nielsen ratings, box office and advertising revenues.
Their cynicism is matched only by their unbridled avarice and hypocrisy.
However, this time, they might be in for a surprise. There is a point of no return. Once people can't pay their cable bills or afford gas to go to the theatre, or the riots make it unsafe to go out they will be in big trouble.
The news industry is so leftist they have killed the newspaper industry. MSNBC is dead, it's back broken by a policy of leftism to the far left of Lenin. Fox is rolling in dough. It's almost obscene how Fox has pulverized the liberal mouthpiece networks.
And celebrities want me to vote for Obama. On Facebook, Tumblr or any of the social networks they want to facilitate the "youth" vote because they know they aren't getting the white male vote, asides from those who have special self-interest agendas they want endorsed.
Has anyone picked up a TIME magazine lately? Or the Sunday supplements like Parade or USA weekly? My God the Target advertisement is twice as thick and printed on larger sheets of paper!
America doesn't read. Bill O'Reilly called it when he pined that many go off to live on the web and ignore the real world. It's sad, but true.
I can't wait to see what the media does when the poor left get even more emboldened in their demands and demand free internet and movies to go with their free birth control, free border crossing pass, and free healthcare. Entertainment is a right!
I suspect the media will finally draw a line as to what constitutes an entitlement. ; - )
