Mel was blacklisted because he drove drunk and went on a misogynistic and anti-Semitic rant.The motion picture industry has largely told Deplorable Americans to "F off" and not show up, as they seek to cater to a woke, urbane, sophisticated liberal audience.
Any actors who embrace conservatism are immediately blacklisted, even successful ones like Mel Gibson.
That's why he got blacklisted.
Or do you think it's acceptable to call a female police officer who is doing her job "Sugar Tits"?
Really, the fault for the decline in movies belongs to the left, they egged the film industry on to go far left, but then they don't support.
Just like with the Dixie Chicks, who told conservative fans to get lost as they wanted liberal listeners only. And the libs didn't tune in or buy concert tickets.
So let me get this straight... the Dixie Chicks deserve to be blacklisted because they criticized a war that even Conservatives admit now was a bad idea.
But Mel can scream racist obscentities at a female police officer and he's the victim here?
Old television classics like the original Star Trek were great in their day and time...they usually had at least 5 different themes in one episode that today will have half of one theme.
Star Trek was pretty liberal for it's time.
Frankly, I love the original Star Trek.
But The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine are MUCH better shows.
