Hollywood Propaganda Time: Spike Lee and MSNBC Sittin' In a Tree…

You watch a few of these new “Lean Forward” ads and the approach becomes obvious, director Spike Lee and MSNBC are hoping to fool people into thinking they’re all about “The People,” “The Kids,” and “The America.” An extreme left-wing message stewed in Hollywood magic for that home-grown, down-home, God-Bless-America flavor.

But if you look closely, what we’re being told is that it’s patriotic to take away people’s liberties with ObamaCare, truly American to spend our children and grandchildren into oblivion, and wholesome to punish prosperity.

In a nutshell: Government-enforced equality over individual liberty is baseball, hot dogs, mom, and apple pie!

This is all about 2012, folks. All about couching Obama’s extremist message and failed policies into something the independents he lost in 2010 can tolerate. Everyone together now: Thanks Hollywood!

But this isn’t 2008 and we are on to you this time.

Fishbowl DC:

MSNBC debuted new “Lean Forward” ads today featuring the network’s four primetime hosts: Chris Matthews, Lawrence O’Donnell, Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz.

But there’s something different about the ads this time around. They’re directed by Spike Lee, and Oscar-nominated Matthew Libatique, who worked on “Black Swan,” served as the director of photography.

According to a press release, the ads were “all shot completely unscripted” and will appear on television, msnbc.com, and in movie theaters across the country this summer. Separate print ads will run in “major publications.”
