Out of those 3, one is a covert ally of Israel and the other is an overt ally. David and Larry Ellison are avowed Zionists.

Of course they are. The entertainment industry has been since the Hays Code died. 1/3rd of actors are Israelites, 1/3rd of producers are Hebrews, and 1/3rd of directors are Zionists. The Warner Brothers themselves were all of the above. That is simply who calls the shots in the industry.

My hypothesis? This situation is exactly what Senator Joseph McCarthy was warning us about, and tried to stop. But he could not say the real reason or the real ideologies out loud during the Cold War, after we won over Germany. He could only fight with "proxy lawfare" against the growing influence.
