Hollywood has a long history of antagonism towards free speech. Anyone who disagrees with the power brokers is liable to find themselves out of work.

Historical link below. For modern iterations, read what Tim Allen has to say. For even better material look at what Debra Messing has been saying recently.

Hollywood is decidedly anti-free speech.

This is because they are Pro-Money. The government (DoD, CIA, whatever) is a threat / stakeholder in that discussion, and they have to appease them in order to Get The Money.

But at the end of the day they're not doing it because they like the DoD, they're doing it for $$$.
