Attorney General William Barr is right. It’s well past time that Hollywood and major elements of the U.S. entertainment industry stopped sucking up to Communist China.

In a speech on Thursday, Barr noted that “Hollywood actors, producers, and directors pride themselves on celebrating freedom and the human spirit. And every year at the Academy Awards, Americans are lectured about how this country falls short of Hollywood’s ideals of social justice. But Hollywood now regularly censors its own movies to appease the Chinese Communist Party, the world’s most powerful violator of human rights. This censorship infects not only versions of movies that are released in China but also many that are shown in American theaters to American audiences.”
