An American political commentator believes that Hollywood has been complicit with Washington and the Pentagon for many decades.
“Hollywood has been complicit with Washington and the Pentagon so many many decades. It goes back to silent films in the 1920s,” Writer & Radio Host Stephen Lendman told Press TV’s U.S. Desk on Thursday.
Lendman also said that Argo is a propaganda piece about the hostage crisis in Iran,
“The young students, the men and women were misportrayed. They weren’t violent, they were very well-behaved. They didn’t harm the hostages they took,” he added.
At the 85th edition of Academy Awards at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, California, the Oscar for best picture was won by "Argo," directed by Ben Affleck.
The film is loosely based on the allegedly historical account by former CIA agent Tony Mendez about the rescue of six American diplomats during the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran after Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.
