There seems to be a real concerted effort to mass-trick celebrities into seeming MAGA. From Daily Wire movies using fake production companies and scripts to lock actors into contracts to headlines that misrepresent real quotes.

I was disappointed about Danny Trejo's pro-ICE movie. But his son said they used faked names and an altered script. At 82 Trejo had no idea what Daily Wire was even if they'd been honest. Now he's locked into a contract with strict non disparagement clauses, and many others seem to be trapped too.

I saw a headline about Brad Bird leaving Disney because "they got political and abandoned their principles." It was an anecdote about the 90s when office politics made him deal with managers who didn't care about animation principles like squash and stretch. He didn't leave Pixar because of woke.

I had a Media 101 instructor who impressed upon me two quotes that I never forgot; "You'll never get another Post-Dispatch," and "Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you read." I'm not skeptical because I'm skeptical. I'm skeptical because I HAVE to be.
