January 1, She-Hulk Star Lashes Out at Actors Who Stay Silent on Politics

Wyatt’s Take

• Tatiana Maslany demands every entertainer push left-wing politics, calling silence cowardly.
• She attacks Tom Selleck and Michael Jordan for refusing to alienate half their audience.
• Maslany fears a studio merger will finally let some conservative ideas reach viewers.

Canadian actress Tatiana Maslany used a podcast appearance to blast fellow stars who keep their political views to themselves.

She told far-Left commentator Mehdi Hasan that staying quiet is “cowardly” and that “all entertainment is political.”

“Artists are like mirrors to the world, to society,” Maslany said. “We have to name things … it’s, like, such an important, intrinsic part of our job.”

Hasan brought up veteran actor Tom Selleck, who once explained why he avoids political talk.

“Look, I don’t dabble in politics because I don’t understand why you want to piss off half the country if your job is entertaining the country,” Selleck said.

Maslany dismissed that stance and argued every show or movie already pushes a viewpoint.

“But, all of it is political, like, everything is political,” the actress said. “All entertainment is political, because it has a viewpoint, and it has a perspective. It has visual representation of the world we live in or the kinds of things that are funny or acceptable.”

She added that entertainers should aim to “destabilize” viewers rather than simply amuse them.

“There’s no disconnect, in my mind,” Maslany went on. “And, to me, those are two very rich men who stand to lose a lot if they stand up for something. Art should destabilize people too.”

Maslany also voiced fear over a possible Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger, claiming it would block shows critical of the current administration.

“It’s going to make all the output that we have, any content that we create, go through a filter of this sort of conservative ideology or be gatekept in a way that we can’t make shows that say anything about the current administration, even in a veiled way,” she said.

She claimed she has already heard of series being canceled for crossing that line.

“I’ve heard of shows being canceled for that very reason,” Maslany went on. “It’s also just, like, limiting, limiting, limiting, like, the kinds of voices we can hear from. All of that. All of that stuff.”

Her own Disney+ series “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” was widely panned and canceled after one season.

Wyatt Matters

Middle America still wants movies and shows that entertain first and lecture last; families deserve stories that unite rather than divide.
