“There are good story lines here.” This was funded by the federal government. “I’d like to see 10 of the major TV shows, or telenovelas, have people talking about ‘that health insurance thing,’” said Peter V. Two years ago, the New York Times reported that Covered California, the Golden State’s Obamacare exchange, “poured significant resources into a detailed marketing plan - developed not by state health bureaucrats but by the global marketing powerhouse Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide, which has an initial $900,000 contract with the exchange.” Ogilvy’s plan was to tap major network TV shows like “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Modern Family” to sell Americans on the health care law.
But it is not right to promote a radical (and radically unpopular) political agenda using taxpayer dollars. The White House has been pushing Hollywood for a while now, which is their right. They won’t admit that Obamacare’s promise is as fictional as those programs. They’d rather have your favorite fictional TV characters grab your lapels and tell you to get on the Obamacare bandwagon. But Obamacare is still wildly unpopular, and the White House clearly thinks most people aren’t serious enough to be persuaded by watching CNN or MSNBC.
So far, the Obama-loving networks seemed to have drawn a line and avoided clunky plot contrivances in its top programs to push a blatantly Obama-boosting agenda. Sadder still is watch the president feeding it. It speaks to a dumbed-down popular culture. A couple grand just to walk in the door….Who can afford that?”īut there’s something undignified and even insulting in the way Team Obama has taken the largest transfer of power from the individual to the state and is trying to accomplish it in the cheesiest venues, like sitcoms and fake-interview comedy shows. You’re walking down the street, you’re a little clumsy, you trip, you fall - where do you end up? Emergency room. And what can say is, ‘Look, you never know when life is going to throw you a curve ball. We’re talking to athletes, because obviously they get injured a lot and many of them are the same age as the market we’re going after. Jarrett told the Popsugar crew that they’ve used all kinds of famous people to push Obamacare: “We’re talking to celebrities. Liberals rightly credit TV and movies and pop songs for America’s growing support for gay “marriage.” So why not use that power for Obamacare? The White House people know the immense cultural power the Left has in the popular culture. “I’m meeting with writers of various TV shows and movies to try to get it into the scripts.” The “it” is Obamacare.Ĭonservatives are no match for liberals in this arena. (News Busters) – Top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett recently granted an interview to a celebrity-gossip website called Popsugar and revealed why she had come to Hollywood.
