STAND UP CHRIS, LET ‘EM SEE YA! Actual Hollywood Reporter Headline: ‘Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story’ Filmmakers on How They Believe the Actor Would’ve Stood Up to Donald Trump Today.

At the start of the month, “George MF Washington” wrote on his Substack: Hollywood’s Political Morality Police:

The Hollywood entertainment press, Deadline, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, The LA Times and others, exists for two reasons… one is to report entertainment news, and the other is to make sure that Hollywood’s politics remain Progressive.

It accomplishes this second goal in a couple of ways. One is by reinforcing the ideological bubble in which most Hollywood creatives and executives live and work. The other is by issuing veiled threats of banishment and permanent outcast status for all those who deviate from Progressive orthodoxy. Both the fear, and the threat, are very real.
