The invisible blacklist

I commented the other day on the bizarre, unnatural, feminist sameness in the way love scenes are choreographed in the movies of the last ten years, as though every single movie director knew exactly what he had to do, without anybody actually saying it or enforcing it, and with no one even commenting on the existence of this phenomenon. According to Roger Simon, there is a liberal blacklist in today’s Hollywood that operates the same way:

… it operates through an almost invisible thought control caused by a post-Orwellian “liberal” conformity so pervasive a formal Blacklist is not necessary, indeed would work against itself…. there is nothing concrete to rebel against, no hearings, no committees, no protest groups pro or con, no secret databases … only the grey haze of a mindless received “liberalism,” … never questioned or even analyzed … as if it were the permanent religious text of some strange new orthodoxy.
