Summary: Pass it up.
Review: This book simultaneously talks down to the reader, while assuming he/she is very knowledgabe in international affairs and recent history. It is a compilation of brief vignettes and anecdotes loosely tied into 293 pages. Don't waste your time. Read one of Ann Coulter's books instead, you'l get more out of it and enjoy it more.

Summary: This book is a MUST read!
Review: This book explains so much - so many things that always were nagging at the back of my mind. It definitely puts things into perspective as far as the extreme left leanings that are now so evident in the liberal media, etc. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is curious about the trends we are seeing today - you will be shocked, then angry at the way the American people are being used, duped and manipulated.

Summary: Saw Mr Hirsen on C-SPAN
Review: I just saw Mr Hirsen on C-SPAN talking about this book - at an event sponsored by the "Accuracy In Media" group, so I should have seen what was coming. This guy could not be more lame if he had only one leg. His "analysis" and I use the term very loosely could be likened to "four legs good, two legs bad" - as in all conservatives in Hollywood good, all liberals bad. To borrow an old quote, this man probably never saw a belt he didn't hit under. Throw in some good ad hominem attacks on Barbarba Sreisand and make the audience go wild! Everyone in this republic has a right to speak and sometimes to speak out. The lastest attack mode conservatives ( Laura Ingram ) are using is "what qualifiactions do they ( Hollywood types ) have in political science or geopolitics that gives them the right to speak out?" The answer is of course, none. But as we live a democracy, THAT DON'T MATTER. What specialized knowledge of Iraq, Islam, the Kurds, the Ottoman Empire, the Balfour Declaration or the role of pumpernickel in 19th centiry German literature do talking heads like Hirsen, Ingram, Coulter or Scarborough bring to the table?

Summary: Good book. Points need to be made.
Review: I was so happy to see someone take on Hollwood liberals. Too many of them have come to believe that we want to hear their opinions; when in fact there is much disgust with their using their meager educations and huge megaphone of celebrity to try to influence us politically. Many of us have begun to boycott the movies and TV programs made by certain people because we no longer like them and one actor particularly who thought it was cute to threaten one of our leaders on national TV. I hope this book will awaken more American servicemen, Christians, conservatives, the middle class, citizens of the "fly-over states" as the sophisticates like to call us, and others they don't like to realize these people are practicing propaganda in many formats, not just entertainment. Thanks Mr. Hirsten for writing the book many of us would like to have written.

Summary: Read the "Rest of the Story"..........
Review: Hirsen has captured and enlightened upon a segment of Hollywood that most have not been aware of or have not dared to speak upon. I found his book to put to "light" many hidden truths of the power behind the media and has given me great insight into the propaganda so many of us have been deceived by. I highly recommend this book to any who choose to hear the "rest of the story" on what is really going on behind the silver screen.

Summary: NON PR PERSPECTIVE OF GLITZVILLE - BUFFO
Review: Well written. Incisive expose of the Land of Ozz. Thoroughly enjoyable and recommended for those who want to see what propps up some of the Hollywood facades and some of the self appointed show biz Voices.

Summary: Many better ways to spend your time and money
Review: I received this book as a birthday gift. As someone of the conservative persuasion on a great number of issues, I expected to have a rollicking good time with this one. WRONG!!! I found the book to be very poorly written and despite the wealth of potential available material out there I found myself constantly losing interest. Makes me wonder how something this bad ever gets published. Be you of the liberal or conservative stripe spend your time on something more substantial. A big thumbs down!!

Summary: Quite disappointing
Review: Wow. Even to a conservative who rolls his eyes at the liberal blather coming from the movie star set-- this is really bad. Quite unfunny and rather pointless.

Summary: Childish and one-sided
Review: Being a non-American reader, I firstly find the description of Hollywood as 'left-wing' very surprising, considering the number of jingositic and sometimes frankly xenophobic war films (See The Patriot or The Deer Hunter) that have come out of America. Sure, I can accept that many Hollywood actors have left-wing views but has Hirsen forgotten about Reagan, Shwarzenegger and Heston? Oh but of course, they've never tried to influence American public policy or throw their hat into the political arena. As far as I am aware America still has freedom of speech but you wouldn't think so listening to Hirsen. The general impression you get from Hirsen is that freedom of speech is fine - just as long as you agree with him and his conservative cronies. And as for these 'leftist Hollywood actors', where are they? I never get to see them as Hirsen and middle America are constantly blocking my view.
