Justine Bateman Calls For Filmmakers And Showrunners To "Leave Politics Out Of Their Projects"

Actress Justine Bateman, known for playing Mallory on Family Ties, called for filmmakers and showrunners to “leave politics out of their projects.”
Bateman posted on X, “Best thing filmmakers and series show runners can do right now is leave politics out of their projects. People are besieged with politics online and on TV. When they watch entertainment, they want a break from all that.”
Bateman’s call to action is something many cinephiles, moviegoers, and TV viewers have said for the last decade. However, the solution is not as simple as removing politics from films and TV given much of the politics that we are inundated with is in actuality immorality. Our struggle for the most part is not political, but moral. Our big “political” issues are not about tax rates and infrastructure spending, it’s about whether you can murder children and butcher children, whether sodomy is legal, and whether criminals should be arrested and jailed.
I'm pretty sure Bateman is being unrealistic. Her fellow Hollyweirders fancy themselves as morally superior to normal people and as "evangelists" of their superior moral views. I don't think many will be inclined to shut up and entertain.

I think she's right. Unfortunately for her idea, you're also 100% right. The Hollywood leftist believe within the empty core of their being that they are superior and we are their underlings and that it's their duty to instruct us in the "proper" way to think, act, be, etc.
