Holiday parade marches through Hollywood - how well is the State being led?

A study published in September 2020 claims that Wuhan Virus cases in the US first rose the same month that the Hollywood Christmas Parade aired on TV in 2019. Associated Television (in conjunction with the City of L.A) stages and films the parades weeks before they're broadcast (so the outbreak was not causal), but this 2021 Parade could be seen as book-end, 2-year milestone of the pandemic.

Prior to the parade, a red-carpet is staged for Hollywood celebrities and politicians to appear before their, respective, fans and constituents. A few of them spoke with us about their experience over the past - nearly 2-years - of pandemic, national (and state) electioneering, and government mandates on vaccinations and vaccination I.D.'s.

We asked the iconic actor, Eric Estrada, who portrayed "CHiPs" California Highway Patrol officer "Ponch" Poncherello - about the effects of the left-wing, Defund the Police movement's budget re-allocations for "community groups' to reduce crime.

The B.L.M. protests bolstered the election of leftist District Attorneys in N.Y., and California who so liberalized prosecutions, they increased armed assault, robberies, and crime in both L.A. and San Francisco.

We inquired of Calif. State Senator Maria Elena Durazo, that why, despite California having one of the lowest infection rates in the country at (0.22 per 100,000) after 20-months, why did Gov. Gavin Newsom renew his Emergency Powers through the end of March- longer than 2-years?

Katy Grimes in the California Globe (11/11/21) wrote:

The real benefit to the governor’s emergency powers has already played out, but appears to be on track to continue: unchecked powers; a compliant, uninvolved Legislature; emergency executive orders making law, no-bid contracts, increasing vaccine mandates (K-12 and now children ages 5-11), employer vaccine and mask mandates; and provides county public health officers unchecked power. If Gov. Newsom’s emergency powers end, so do the mandates. And the executive orders.

Lynette Romero field-reports for KTLA-TV's Morning News and co-anchors on the weekends. We asked her about the role that corporate (and corresponding political) influences play in shaping news story selection and editorial angles. We are interested in reference to news-story partiality (rather than objective reporting) regarding the Wuhan Virus origins, government lockdowns, school closures, vaccine (and mask) mandates (and hesitancy), and vaccination I.D's.



Ms. Romero replied: "I've never had corporate tell me how to do a story. ... People say all the time you have to be an objective reporter. You have to be a fair reporter. You know, we are human beings. So we bring our perspective, our culture, our beliefs, our values with whatever we do - and that's what makes us human beings. But your job as a journalist is to be fair and to be accurate - so that's what we do!"

One of the other Parade co-hosts, Montel Williams, made the news in 2019 when 2001 news pictures of

his relationship with Kamala Harris (which originally appeared in Ebony and Jet) turned up. According to an Inside Edition TV show report from 2019, “At the time, Harris was an under-the-radar lawyer in San Francisco.” Ms. Harris was actually a prosecutor at the San Francisco City Attorney's Office. The couple walked the red carpet together at the Eighth Annual Race to Erase MS which Mr. Williams was diagnosed with in 1999.

 

But once Ms. Harris became District Attorney of San Francisco in 2004,

Harris oversaw more than 1,900 marijuana convictions in San Francisco, previously unreported records from the DA’s office show. Her prosecutors appear to have convicted people on marijuana charges at a higher rate than under her predecessor, based on data about marijuana arrests in the city. (San Jose Mercury News 9/11/19)

News about her former relationship might have become sticky when Montel, a proponent to legalize marijuana for medical remedies such as his Multiple Sclerosis, got involved in the business of selling marijuana derivative products.  "Montel Williams Starts Medical Cannabis Company for MS and Other Chronic Diseases" in Multiple Sclerosis News Today (9/15/2016)

"Williams is considered one of the highest-profile advocates for medical cannabis in the country, and he has been using cannabis products — at the advice of his doctors — to help manage his MS symptoms.

Mr. Williams served as a host of the Hollywood Parade both in 2018 and 2021, but when we got to speak with him in 2018, his characterization of Democratic Socialism may reveal another reason the Sanders-drawn Democratic Party may have preferred journalists not publicize candidate Harris' prior relationship with him. 

 

Samuel Anthony wrote in American Thinker: "Too many friendships and families have been divided by politics lately, and this tribalism only benefits the politicians, not the people they are supposed to be serving. We need to end the tribalism and bring back civic discourse in which we as a nation can come to a consensus on the correct course of action for each issue. That will include compromise, a delicate art that seems lost as everything these days is viewed as a zero-sum game. 

Our country was not founded on the premise of one viewpoint dominating the other. It was intended that we compromise, and in the end we have the freedom to choose; not to be dominated by a ruling elite. Politicians have forgotten, they are our equals, citizens of the United States, not superior to us. 

It is time to end the tribalism of left versus right, male, female, black and white and to realize we are one tribe seeking the same goal. We are Americans, and all any of us wants is to live our lives without being subjugated by a ruling elite. A return to our founding principles will cure the division and end the corruption."
