A lot. It goes along with his 'be a monster' thing.

“Conspiracy” doesn’t mean “falsehood”. It refers to people, generally of wealth and power, seeking to expand that wealth and power at the expense of the common people. The whole question of any claim of conspiracy, or as is commonly said, “conspiracy theory”, is whether the claim is true or false. If true, then it is not a theory, but a fact. If false, it is not a theory, but a lie. That’s why I never use the modrn term, which is meant to cast claims of conspiracy as ipso facto insane, without further serious examination.

As to why the media ignore such stories, I have drawn a conclusion. It is that the media have been purchased by the people conducting these conspiracies. The ultimate owners, hidden behind parent company after parent company in a complex web of deceit, have effectively purchased all of the traditional, “legacy” media and enough of the politicians that they need to have controlling stakes in the various major countries. that is why we need to revoke the licenses of the media, completely replace our governments, with solid term limits for everybody. Professional politicians have become professional receivers of bribes from lobbyists who work for these plutocrats, a word which means people who rule by their vast wealth. The politicians now represent them, and not their constituents. That is why elections have become so futile and don’t result in change that benefits ordinary people,

and why leftist woke ideology has been imposed everywhere, from school boards to state officials, top-down, against the wishes of the grass roots.

it's not that one sided.
It wasn't leftist "woke" ideology that deregulated the media, facilitating the scenario you described earlier, allowing conglomerates to control media. It began in the early 80s with Friedman'esque, neo-liberals in the Reagan Administration and continued through Bush 1 into the Clinton years. It wasn't the left that eliminated the Fairness Doctrine that allowed media news to become opinionated and colored by personal and/or corporate bias - again that was Reagan.
It was done for the sake of capitalism and the all-mighty dollar. The initial beneficiary was right-wing radio, such as Rush Limbaugh. The continued progression has gotten us to where we are today.
I still work part-time in the media.. but i was there in the late 80s, early 90s and saw the changes taking place first hand.
It's certainly as you described, except both political parties have been bought and sold. For every George Soros there are the Koch Brothers and/or ALEC.

That's because Fox is no different than the other MSM state-run media.

No argument on capitalism and the capitalists. It amazes me how many people think there are only two economic alternatives, and how few realize it is possible to think both socialism and capitalism bad.

So if I were to revise my oversimplication, I would say that wealthy capitalists, who then were also often formally Republicans, bought the media up and then began imposing the Leftist anarchy mode - by a uniparty that was ostensibly two opposing parties; thus the RINOs and neocons being at one with the Democrats, once ostensibly the anti-war populist party, which morphed into the party of war and the elites, and thus the opposition and betrayal within the Republican side of Trump, who represented a shift of the party back toward populism and against elitism, which is why the media turned against Trump en masse, and even Fox and Newsmax have been shown to be only sham opposition.

Capitalism needs guard rails.



Back to the topic.
I haven't seen the movie and probably won't. Those kids were exploited once, I don't want to be party of exploiting them again for entertainment.
