**The Big Sex**  
  
Hollywood has always been a left-leaning town, but now it's combined with a lot of violence and sex. A new book might offer additional insight into the unsavory glamour. *The New Logic of Money and Power in Hollywood* by Edward Jay Epstein. [Here's a link ](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A51757-2005Feb24.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)to a *Washington Post* review of the book.

Excerpt from the review:

The old Big Seven (MGM, RKO, Paramount, Columbia, Fox, Universal and Warner Bros) “have been replaced by the new **Big Six**: Time Warner, Viacom, Fox, Sony, NBC Universal and Disney, 'global entertainment companies . . . that **collude and cooperate at different levels to dominate filmed entertainment**.' Movies earn a very small percentage of their total revenue, but are 'their principal source of prestige and satisfaction in Hollywood.'

“**The grasp of the Big Six is astonishing**. They 'own all six broadcast networks in America,' as well as '64 cable networks whose reach accounts for most of the remainder of the prime-time television audience,' a combination that enables them to 'control over 96 percent of the programs that carry commercial advertising during prime time.'"
