Question

In the late-1940s and early-1950s the entertainment industry was hurt by a blacklisting scandal that centered around

Answer 1

In the "McCarthy era" (1950 ~ 1954) any actor who was suspected of being a communist sympathizer was put "black listed" and found it almost impossible to find work. Homosexuals were black listed and removed from government jobs.. We get the same thing today in a more subtle way when a person like an actor can't find work because of their political views, but that is more an industry thing than an official government policy. Certain movie studios or TV networks will only use people who have the same political view as the owners. You can rest assured that Rush Limbaugh will probably not end up as the News Anchor on CBS and Al Franken will most likely not host a show on Fox.
