Screen Guide for Americans

The following was written by Ayn Rand for the Motion Picture Alliance for American Ideals. These were meant to be suggestions:

1. Don't take politics lightly.
2. Don't smear the free enterprise system.
3. Don't smear weath.
4. Don't smear the profit motive.
5. Don't smear success.
6. Don't glorify failure.
7. Don't glorify depravity.
8. Don't deify "the common man."
9. Don't glorify the collective.
10. Don't smear the independent man.
11. Don't use current events carelessly.
12. Don't smear American political institutions.

Pretty good suggestions. Nowadays motion pictures are doing exactly the opposite. Notice the suggestions did not say you couldn't criticize politicians.
