Actually, as Diana West has shown, it was largely the reverse. With a few rare exceptions that prove the rule, Hollywood has cultivated the Leftist disdain for "McCarthyism" and making martyrs of the Hollywood Communists blacklisted -- and as Diana West has proven, Hollywood actually had another blacklist going (one the Mainstream never discusses, of course) preventing movies that were anti-Stalinist from being made.
