Hollywood Made Me Do It
I didn’t start out as an accidental culture warrior.
My father, with an assist from Abbott & Costello, made me love movies. So when my art career fizzled (after ponying up for three degrees!) I segued to movie criticism.
Except there weren’t any critic gigs open at the time.
So I played the long game. I wrote local news and feature stories at The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review while scrounging for any available arts assignments. A few came my way, and slowly I invaded the Trib’s entertainment section.
Christian Toto is a sought after speaker as well as entertainment journalist.
When I later landed at The Washington Times, I pulled the same stunt. It worked. Again.
Phew.
I finally emerged as one of the newspaper’s regular film critics, reviewing movies and interviewing A-list talent like Tom Hanks, Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Spacey.
All the while, Hollywood began to change – both in its soapbox sermons and the content it cranked out.
So I started to shift my entertainment coverage, capturing this new Hollywood in a way most of my peers either ignored or applauded.
Today, when Hollywood takes a lazy swipe at paying customers who happened to hold views outside the left-of-center consensus, HiT isn’t afraid to step up.
This site offers news, reviews and commentary from a right-of-center perspective. We also respect people of faith, something many other sites can’t claim. And, if you want HiT-inspired merch, you can find it here at
Rush Order Tees.
I ordered one myself, and it’s a quality fit!
Liberals – you’re welcome here, too. This site doesn’t traffic in Fake News or disparage people in cruel ways. You might expand your horizons with every click. We might even agree on more issues than you think.
