Hollywood's war on the "war on terror"

independent reporter Michael Fumento has written an excellent piece demonstrating how Hollywood is covering up the islamic terrorist threat and is instead placing the blame on their versions of the "bad guys", i.e. the US gov't, the Department of Homeland Security, the CIA, etc...

he compares this to, for example, the years during WW2:

In 1942, Hollywood went to war. It began pumping out countless movies designed both to entertain the public and bolster its will to fight. A lot of them were cheap, hokey, or both. But even in a nation that seemingly needed little reminder of the dastardly attack on Pearl Harbor or the evils of the Nazis, they kept drilling home the message that we must persevere no matter the costs or the duration.

Well that they did. President Franklin Roosevelt lived in constant fear that the public would turn against the war. Indeed a Gallup Poll taken just five months before Germany’s collapse and long after the American public began learning of the horrors of the Holocaust, showed about one-fourth did not want to drive on to unconditional surrender.

Fast forward that reel to the post-9/11 era. Just how many Hollywood movies (not documentaries) have been made in which the bad guys are Islamist terrorists that do not specifically concern the Sept. 11 attacks? If you have to guess, guess “none.”

so, we had "United 93", which was pretty damn good. ABC broadcast "The Path to 9/11", which was excellent, even though liberals and former Clintonites freaked out about it. but, beyond that--nothing.

Fumento left out of his article movies like "The Road to Guantanamo", which portrayed "innocent" British Muslims being swept up in Afghanistan..."The Good Shepherd", which was an excuse to portray waterboarding as a CIA torture technique which is such a horrifying experience that the "waterboardee" has to commit suicide..."Children of Men", which has British Muslims having been removed from the population and rounded up into refugee camps (but they still manage to create mayhem)...even go back to "The Siege"--people freaked out about this pre-9/11 portrayal of islamic terrorists, but by the end of the movie who's the bad guy? ...Bruce Willis of the U.S. Armed Forces, not to mention Annette Bening's morally challenged intelligence role.
