I tend to think the deep state is far more subtle. TV producer Norman Lear created an org that writes scripts to push messages on audiences. I don't know of any connection between Lear(who died this year) and the CIA but its just one example of what you are talking about.
When you read about the CIA (Legacy of Ashes) you learn that they have connections in many places and influence many things. Its naive to think they do not do this with Hollywood.
