Recent events highlight a worrying trend of toxic figures in politics and entertainment reclaiming their past prominence. Notable examples include Andrew Cuomo leading in New York's mayoral race and Kevin Spacey's lifetime achievement award at Cannes, drawing unfavorable comparisons to past blacklisted figures. Meanwhile, The Daily Wire's hiring of Mike Richards marks an ideological shift in entertainment as they aim to penetrate mainstream audiences. This trend reflects a larger conservative movement within pop culture, raising questions about the intertwining of ideology and media in a politically charged landscape.
To many, The Daily Wire's move into mainstream entertainment reflects a broader shift where ideology plays a significant role in production, yet questions remain about reaching wider audiences.
As conservative narratives gain traction in pop culture, Andrew Breitbart’s assertion that ‘politics is downstream of culture’ becomes increasingly relevant, linking the entertainment industry to political outcomes.
