I go with supersolidsnake and say that the suits from the CIA/State Dept/etc. gave them a manilla envelope of instructions, I would be surprised if a Paramount employee had any meaningful input on this clear propaganda piece.
We are far past the point of "cold calculating pragmatic indifferent-to-all-but-green-line-go-up" capitalism", it is just plain naked rabidly irrational 1984 fascism with TikTok Characteristics at this point.
I hate to say it but there is another option (personally I see it as a bit of both); Zionist Jews do have some power in America particularly within media/entertainment, being labelled by a powerful peer Zionist as an "antisemite" could be more damaging to one's career than pissing off a couple thousand proles. Proles can't blacklist you. No substantial chunk of the common population is going to start and keep a boycott of Paramount.
I don't want to lend to fascist conspiracy, I think the vast majority of the USian ruling class are WASPs, but I do think Zionist Jews (who have nothing in common with commoner Jews) have a noteworthy bloc that cannot be dismissed with the influence it wields in interfactional ruling class politics, as do Catholics, atheists, and New Agey Silicon Valley technocult psychos.
