Any kind of control over these companies is seen as "censorship", while banning a foreign (to the USA) company in the US is seen as a matter of national strategy... That's why it is so hypocritical

The US already has state sponsored media.

Also, the US military is a big sponsor of Hollywood related content as long as they don't put the military in bad light.
