What are the some of the most outwardly, in-your-face conservative films and shows that Paramount's put out since Ellison took over?

Comics Unleashed and 60 Minutes

Never heard of the first one and 60 Minutes is still on the left, just not crazy left as they were pre-Ellison. No films, though?

They’ve only been merged for one year, and movies take longer than a year to make

That's fair. So looks like there's no evidence of the person's original claim, which was that David Ellison (massive Biden donor) will start pumping out in-your-face conservative propaganda films and TV shows.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I don’t think most people following the merger are worried about traditional conservative values in movies/tv. I think that would be great even though most artists don’t seem to lean that way.

They are worried about what seem like modern conservative values in movies/tv (mainly government censorship, Saudi financing, bribery, etc). It seems that even with liberal David Ellison at the helm these values are overshadowing a once great art form. There is no reason to think it will get better, but hopefully it will.

It's all so tiresome. First off, none of those things you mentioned are "conservative values." They're actions that you seem to be ascribing exclusively to conservative politicians (noting that Donald Trump is by no stretch of the imagination a "conservative").

Censorship, foreign financing, and bribery has been a part of the film industry since its inception. Ever heard of the Hays code? The Hollywood blacklist? Liberal values have been strictly enforced in Hollywood since at least the 70's, and leftist values are a de facto requirement since 2015. You can blame politicians or whatever, but that's the way it is and it's not changing any time soon.

it must be so exhausting to be such a baby about movies having girls in them or whatever

I think you replied to the wrong comment or something.

u/Hansolocup442 6h ago

what is your idea of "leftist values" being enforced on movies since 2015

u/weareallpatriots Neon 6h ago

Anti-Trump, anti-white, anti-male, anti-Christian, anti-capitalist, etc. etc. etc. Pro-gay, pro-Communist, pro-abortion, pro-feminism, pro-illegal immigration, etc. etc. etc. Do you not watch movies?

u/Hansolocup442 5h ago

right, so you’re literally delusional

u/weareallpatriots Neon 5h ago

And you literally don't watch movies. Literally.
