9. PREJUDICIAL THINKING--Isn't it not only possible, but quite likely, that repeatedly watching hundreds of powerful motion picture images that consistently portray whole populations of our diverse society in a negative or stereotypical manner, during a significant segment of many individual lives (particularly those who are relatively young, uneducated or unsophisticated), will contribute to prejudicial thinking? ANSWER: YES

MOVIES DEAL WITH SENSITIVE ISSUES--Isn't it true that these same major studio releases, treat, comment on, ridicule, portray, teach us about, and otherwise deal with many sensitive and important issues relating to race, ethnicity, culture, sex, sexuality, religion, politics, regional differences, among others? ANSWER: YES

15. EXECUTIVE BACKGROUNDS--Considering all of the above, specifically, that movies tend to mirror the values, interests, cultural perspectives and prejudices of their makers, and that movies deal with all sorts of sensitive social issues, isn't it then quite appropriate to consider any and all aspects of the backgrounds of the persons who have the power to determine which movies are going to be released by the major studio distributors and therefore will be seen by the vast majority of American moviegoers? ANSWER: YES

16. STUDIO EXECUTIVES--Isn't it true that the people in Hollywood who have the power to decide which movies are produced and released, to determine who gets to work in the key positions on such movies and to approve of the screenplays serving as the basis for these movies are the three top studio executives at the major studio distributors?

FALSE ALLEGATIONS--Recognizing the above, isn't it also true that people who make the false allegation of anti-Semitism relating to the above described criticism of the Hollywood control group, either do not understand what anti-Semitism is, or they are simply trying to distract people's attention from the truth of the original criticism of Hollywood in a dishonest manner? ANSWER: YES

23. CREATIVE CONTROL--Isn't it true that the major studio/distributors regularly and routinely use various approval rights in relation to film finance and are thus able to determine to a great extent which movies are produced and to some extent what the content is for each of such movies? ANSWER: YES

24. LESS DIVERSITY--Isn't it true that the result of the above described circumstances imposes a severe limit on creativity in movie making and results in a more narrow selection of motion pictures which tend to range from hoped-for blockbusters and lowest-common-denominator movies to exploitation fare? ANSWER: YES

GOVERNMENT INFLUENCE--Isn't it also true that the Hollywood control group gets away with its "proclivity for wrongful conduct" by routing huge political contributions to presidential candidates and key members of Congress through excessively overpaid studio executives, their spouses and multiple political action committees, so as to discourage vigorous enforcement of the employment discrimination, antitrust and other laws in the Hollywood-based U.S. film industry?

28. INDEPENDENT FILM--Isn't it true that motion picture industry made up of independent producers, independent distributors and independent exhibitors (i.e., not dominated by a handful of companies controlled by a small, narrowly-defined interest group) would result in greater creativity in movie-making and create greater opportunities for a significantly larger number of interest groups within out multi-cultural society to participate at a meaningful level in the film making process? ANSWER: YES

29. FREE MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS--Isn't it true that our democracy is based on the concept of a free marketplace of ideas? ANSWER: YES

30. ALL VIEWPOINTS--Isn't it true that a free marketplace of ideas requires that all viewpoints on important issues must have a fair and equal opportunity to be expressed? ANSWER: YES
