Some writers and entertainers were blacklisted when they were seen to be too liberal. People like Pete Seeger, a folk singer and union activist. People were scared that he was too negative about big business, which they thought put him on the side of the red communists.

Being put on a so called black list caused entertainers to lose most of their bookings.

EX: The conviction of Alger Hiss.
