I wasn't questioning the left-wing agenda of the NEA. I was questioning
the connection between NEA, Hollywood and Barney. It implied a level of
cooperation between all of them which I doubt exists. I think they are
all separate market-driven phenomena. As with any market, they wouldn't
produce it if people didn't want to buy it.

I agree with your definition. Having a hidden agenda makes a
conspiracy. But does Hollywood really have a hidden political agenda?
Or isn't is obvious that they spout politically-correct ideas because
that's what sells? Does the NEA have a hidden agenda? Or isn't it
obvious that they are teaching left-wing liberal values and political
correctness to children?
I agree with all of your descriptions and assessments, but I don't think
it is hidden. These groups seem very open with their goals and
agendas. They do exactly what I expected them to do. It doesn't take
secret knowledge to figure out what they believe or what ideas they are
trying to spread. I'm not sure why we would call any of these groups
"conspiracies" except as an indication that we disagree with them.
