    Hollywood has been widely known as having a leftwing cultural facade since the end of WW2

    You should check out some Pre-Code movies, Hollywood was actually even more openly left-wing in the early 30’s. Like “heroic union organizer comes to town and chases out the capitalists, gets the girl” type plots. The Hays Code was as much about preventing socialism as it was about anything else.

      Yes back when they still remembered having to flee the east coast from Thomas Edison’s lawsuits and Pinkertons.

      Back when radio and print media had a greater hold on the culture. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
