I don't like to think that literally everyone who is 'allowed' to gain notoriety via mainstream media is a system puppet - but, years of experience in various industries related to media/tv/art/science and others has showed me that actually, to get above a certain level of promotion in the mainstream, corporate/government media systems essentially requires you to go along with 'the program' and to not deviate. The only people who are going to be listening to these characters are those who don't know any better due to having been system educated and through not having had the experiences needed yet to let them see through the 'veil' so to speak - Therefore, the level of challenge that they will usually meet is minimal and inconsequential.
