Mainstream Hollywood Hates America, So It Hates ‘Special Ops: Lioness’ Too

Mainstream Hollywood absolutely hates Taylor Sheridan’s latest series, “Special Ops: Lioness,” and their reviews are so stupid they border on a form of pop culture-derived treason.

The mainstream entertainment industry hates “Yellowstone” co-creator Taylor Sheridan. We’ve always known this. Every time Sheridan hits the ball out of the metaphorical park with his film and television projects, losers in the industry whine and cry about how he doesn’t blend into their incestuous, progressive nonsense and give him a bad review.

Things are no different in the mainstream’s reviews of his latest sure-to-be hit-show, “Special Ops: Lioness.” Those of us lucky enough to get a screener of the show before it drops on Paramount+ on Sunday were invited into a realm where the women are in charge. They’re powerful as heck, and inspirational to-boot.

But America-hating losers have already unleashed their pathetic insecurities on “Special Ops: Lioness,” because it holds a mirror up to how useless, pointless and embarrassingly weak most of them really are.

Variety’s Alison Herman said the show is “shameless military propaganda.” Personally, I felt Herman’s review suggested she just hates women. All of us ladies know the type — the ones who give us a dirty look when we show up with our trademark confidence and winning smiles. They’re the girls that Sheridan’s “Yellowstone” character Beth Dutton would have a long of strong words for, if y’all catch my reference.

Of course, Herman made her commentary political, eradicating all hope of appearing unbiased in her analysis. Having known key members of the editorial team at Variety for almost a decade, I was embarrassed for all of them upon reading her review.

In almost identical fashion, the Daily Beast also felt that Sheridan’s writing was “more patriotic drivel.” Drivel is the last word I would use on a show like this. Collider called it a “so-so spy thriller,” so I’m not even sure their writer even watched the full episode. They were probably too busy trying to get their husband’s boyfriend’s pronouns correct or something.

Honestly,  the mainstream reviews of “Special Ops: Lioness” made me think that Variety, the Daily Beast, Collider and probably a few other outlets were all given the same memo to work from for their reviews. I couldn’t find a single original thought in any piece, and all of them appeared to focus on pushing a “let’s hate the country that gave us everything” vibe. At this point, it feels like a form of treason.

It’s the same BS we saw in the reviews of “Sound of Freedom,” the true story of Tim Ballard, who rescued countless children from child sex trafficking in the Americas. These same outlets called the concept “QAnon adjacent.”

I can’t possibly fathom why someone would choose to put their name on the side of history that disregards the child sex trade, but clearly this is Hollywood’s new go-to move. (RELATED: Watch The Heart-Stopping Tease For ‘Special Ops: Lioness,’ The Next Show From ‘Yellowstone’ Creator)

Then again, it appears that those of us falling on the correct side of history are winning in the cultural battle for sanity, life and the moral good. We boycotted Bud Light to death, made “Sound of Freedom” one of the most successful films of the summer, and we’ll probably ensure that “Special Ops: Lioness” gets the praise it deserves.

You can see for yourself on Sunday, only on Paramount+.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
