To my fellow GenX’ers- we have watched and waited for a long time for our moment to lead.

As these two are demonstrating, that time is now.

To the Millennials, Zoomers, and Alphas- join with us. Together we can save our and our children’s future. We won’t get another chance. This it it.

And they wonder why my generation is so cynical and doesn’t trust either political party.

Fox News and podcasters have done to our parents what they said rock music and video games was going to do to us.

‘I was called an enemy of the people’: how the US Senate went to war with the biggest rock stars of the 1980s

Forty years ago Prince, Madonna and Judas Priest were among stars dubbed the ‘Filthy Fifteen’ in a high-profile parents’ campaign against ‘objectionable’ music. Some of those artists, and supporters like Alice Cooper, recall a major moral panic

JOINT STATEMENT: Hollywood Labor on Pulling of Jimmy Kimmel Live w/ @sagaftra.org @directorsguild.bsky.social @afm-union.bsky.social

The indefinite removal of Jimmy Kimmel Live under government pressure is not an isolated incident. It is part of a disturbing trend of increasing interference in creative expression. This kind of political pressure on broadcasters and artists chills free speech and threatens the livelihoods of thousands of working Americans.

When a private citizen, business, or television network bows to government intimidation, it strikes at the heart of our First Amendment rights. Creative artists must be free to do their work without fear that their careers or their family’s livelihoods will be disrupted simply for their opinions.

These cases pull the rug out from under the hardworking American workers behind the scenes who make these productions possible. At a time when America’s film and television industry is still struggling due to globalization and industry contraction, further unnecessary job losses only make a bad situation worse.

Finally, media companies have a responsibility to defend their workers and the integrity of the stories they tell. All broadcasters must stand firm in defense of free expression and the First Amendment, not capitulate to a policy of political appeasement.

Because they privatize the gains and collectivize the losses.

We see none of their profits but will pay to bail them out when it crashes.
